Happened to me as well and I reacted in exact same way (pulling hair, changing password).
Because it supports it in hardware. But I agree, that should be optional which would make Graphene available on many other devices.
If we really want to get rid of bad emissions for good, it should be way above that.
Pumped hydro is better, but not available everywhere.
Depending on geography, but yes, it's rare that you have all requirements for it (hill, river etc.)
I expect sodium-ion batteries to be the main type of storage going forward, but who knows?
These certainly seem like the future. There is also fusion, but it won't be feasible in near future if ever.
Intervene like give more weapons and support to Israel?
So it is 3GWh. Better than 600MWh. While the power requirement during nights might be less, it's still a problem, specially during winter (short days, clouds, heat pumps etc.). And you need to charge those batteries as well which significantly lowers the power output during the day.
No worries. It is, if it replaces fossil fuels. But it soon gets tricky if it is supposed to be a stable source of energy. For that we'd need awful lot of energy storage, probably in some form of batteries (sodium perhaps). Today it's relatively easy to slap solar panels everywhere, but it's not that easy to provide energy outside of daylight.
As all the world has. If we really want to prevent CO2 (and other bad) emissions, we need energy storage and a lot of it. Or nuclear. That said, these are steps (without proper energy storage) in right direction, but only as long as they replace energy from fossil fuel power plants.
Are we arguing? I thought we were talking 🤷 . Yes, but that also means that the rest of the time the energy has to come from somewhere. Like a coal power plant or similar. So this photovoltaic power plant is not a complete replacement for old power plant, but more like a partial one while still relying of fossil fuel, especially during winter and cloudy days.
Where did you find this info? I found this "Battery storage is planned as well, with as much as 600 megawatts eventually possible if approved" which assuming it's 600MWh, it'll provide less than an hour worth of energy. But even 3GWh covers only 4 hours.
Yup, but it can also be a political play (or both) because of domestic farmers pressure. I guess we don't have enough info.
What happens at night? Did they built like 10+++GWh storage as well?
