  • It is a sign of market opportunity and batteries will come into play more.

    But it will always be cheaper in the middle of the day so demand shift would be good.

    Things like heating, cooling, water, washing, cleaning, charging. All being done in the middle of the day will be the easy wins.

    But certainly in high production low usage times the arse is going to fall out of the price. But really how many processes can run for short durations? Most high energy processes are high capital and run 24/7.



  • I think that will be a waste.

    Like if your household usage on average is 100% you might go on holiday and hit 0%. You might have a week where friends come over and you use 200% so you need 200% storage for those edge cases. But as a whole your neighbourhood will use closer to 100% all the time and doesn’t need that extra storage.

    So individual is a lot less efficient than grid. Same applies to production.

    If the grid is fucked and doesn’t work probably it might be better, but that says more about people controlling the grid fucking up more than it being inferior.



  • These people can get fucked. Everyone can get fucked. We don’t need new ideas we need old ones.

    We need the market to be able to react. Being able to build on land, fuck the NIMBYs. And being able to connect to the grid quickly, there is different ways to sort this but it comes from government intervention.

    Then if you want more progress it’s externalities. Tax fossil fuels and use the same money to subsidise renewables and batteries, and grid upgrades.

    Or another possibility is mandate shutdowns based on a percentage over time (this will work better for EVs I think than than utility power. “Oh you want tariff on Chinese cars. Well fine you will have that for 10 years and in return 100% of your sales need to be evs in 10 years and to get you moving in 5 years its 25%, 6 40%, 7 55%, 8 70%, 9 75%.”)

    It’s getting so tiring now that they have evidence of what works and instead just talk about how the worlds going to be different in 2050. Start building some fucking grid upgrades then. You know it is going to take 10 years tondo anything meaningful, you know you are 10 years behind, you know if you build it they will come.

    The first time I learnt about my asbestos I was about 12 and my mum was going off at my dad about it. This was after we just took a load of roofing off an old shed without masks or gloves.

    Thinking of it. He also give me fucking tinnitus when I was like 22. Really should have fucking learnt my lesson by then :(

    God: “I’ll make a wonder material. Fire proof. Strong. Insulating. Just dig it up from the ground. Common a fuck. Waterproof.”

  • This is out of date.

    People are losing faith rapidly in the left because they don’t seem to be for the everyday working class Briton like they used to be.

    There is a big shift going to Reform now largely because they want to reduce immigration. The left deny the situation and the right have claimed they will reduce it every year then increase.

    People are flooding to the “far right”* because they don’t seen the main parties address the main issue they want addressing and have been talking about for decades at this point, generations even.

    _* not actually far right. But the left love throwing that term around to anyone that has a different opinion to them. They just want lower immigration, which historically has been a left leaning ideology
