I forgot to type solar. Solar is good.

We will never be able to use renewables until we have a good way to store it

Battery tech

i was headed to a show in georgia, and saw my first large scale solar project in person. i was disgusted.

That doesn't mean we can't use it. Plus that's not entirely true.

We need to get out of here. They're posting election stuff.

general chat?

The problem is that a home's demand for electricity does not necessarily occur at the same time that the sun is out. Homes, of course, need power at night and on cloudy days. Solar systems feed excess power back into the electric grid, which allows homes to draw from the grid when the sun isn't shining, but that still entails a reliance on fossil fuels. (One way to mitigate that would be for governments to build significantly more nuclear power stations, but they have been increasingly reluctant to do so in the wake of the nuclear accident in Fukushima.)

The ideal solution is a big battery that can store at least a day's worth of electricity, if not more for the winter months in colder climates. Such batteries already exist. For example, Tesla uses 60 kWh and 85 kWh batteries in its cars, enough for up to 300 miles of driving, and two to three days of power for an average U.S. household.

The trouble is that each kW of storage carries a whopping price tag of $600 for consumers. Adding a 60 kWh battery to a household solar system would tack on $36,000 to the total cost, lifting the price of 20 years of solar power to at least $47,000. That's way too much — especially considering that the battery could need to be replaced long before a solar panel's 20-year lifespan is up.

Yes, that doesn't render it useless. It's not either-or. It's an amalgamation.

Trump will win

Lol there done

The software glitch that swaped votes was an operation

People will go to jail

Doubt it. Any source on that

Glitch will just be a mechanical failure and no one will be blamed for it without proving intent

@leftingfighter33 i wish that were true. But dont see any evidence

> @leftingfighter33 i wish that were true. But dont see any evidence
@Elias Diaz evidence for it being an operation? Or for it happening

I don't see any evidence that it was planned or intentional. We have just heard about one glitch that happened.

> I don't see any evidence that it was planned or intentional. We have just heard about one glitch that happened.
@Elias Diaz I think it was very much intentional. You don't write a bug into your software tha randomly swaps votes.

It isn't just "one glitch", the executable for the software comes from the source code. All executables that are the same version were compiled down to binary from the same source code and have the same glitch.

This is literally one of the simplest pieces of software to write and you're going to tell me some dumb dev just swaped two arrays by mistake? No that doesn't happen.

If the same software was used in multiple places then they should do a re-count by hand in all of the places.

I work in a very sensitive field and if a mistake like this happened somebody is getting fired and heads are rolling, we would have to report it to the FDA and there would be accountability. An entire investigation would be open and a root cause analysis would be done.

A CAPA would be open detailing the corrective action that was taken and everything would be recorded. If the medical field can do this why the hell are our elections a free for all? When they are just as important?

Zero accountaility

@leftingfighter33 i wish that were true. And maybe after additional investigation it is determined that something like what you described is true.

But I believe they mentioned that the glitch was actually a clerical error

But maybe im wrong? I just want them to do an investigation and confirm that there isnt any funny business going on and i can have a little (only a little) faith in the system

from what I read it was just the live vote counting software

not official vote counts

`unofficial results`

Short version, just specific anomalous data

I suspect all the counties that use Clearvote and Dominion software or machines are being recounted and supervised by the National Guard from people I know in my state responsible for installation and updating.

@WatchingYouDaily nice

@realz They left my county board of elections Friday.

@Elias Diaz Your not wrong because the clerks are not suppose to be doing any software updating.

Here's something I heard the other day about these lawsuits; what if Trump and his legal team don't pursue voter fraud as intensely as we've seen, but instead shift direction to voter impropriety? Attempt to prove that the accuracy of votes counted is in question due to the change in state laws prior to this election.

Think that will be easier to prove or be easier to legally pursue?

What would be the remedy?
