One word: Curie

Well, batt cap to cost ratio.

add more lithium

get more capacity

Anyone got any good lefty discord groups I can join?

@Laucivol - Which is why it's good to combine wind/solar with hydro, using fossil fuel generators as backup in case the entire system needs more juice.

To a certain extent, but too much of an already unstable compound in every home. >.<;

Yeah, as most things, a hybrid grid is the best bet.

Just use a percentage of power to pump water up into huge resevoirs

and when you need supply just use gravity

Add a pump to the dam, so you can pump water upriver if need be.

😛

Though I would say that nuclear would be a stronger backup.

Nuclear should be the primary

Yeah, nuclear would be great if people would stop freaking the fuck out all the time.

not a backup

when you're the only furry in a crew of weebs

fucking weeb

See how I said I want decentralization of electricity.

And solar tiles seems the best option if it's made viable.

Electricity should be centralized

Anyone got any good lefty discord groups I can join?

It is WAY more efficient centralized

More *power* to the people. >.>

I agree. We should have a single nuclear power plant serve all of the United States.

the losses in the system are way higher at smaller scale

Decentralization can absorb the lossage, though, just fine.

I see Ninja is taking up ManAnimal's spear.

Yes, factually, in terms of raw efficiency, a single supermassive generator would produce more energy at less loss with distribution losses taken into account, that solar panels on every roof

Single point of failure is bad.

<in terms of raw efficiency>

It's the veritable definition of terrible design.

Never said it would be how to do it.

Just said it would be peak efficiency

Whereas I'm at efficacy.

The ideal is a well distributed array of nuclear reactors

What do these mean?
