How is it possible to get worse?

Q: “Are we doomed?” A: “We would be, if not for the amazing developments in renewable energy.” (powering-the-planet.ghost.io)

I wasn’t aware just how good the news is on the green energy front until reading this. We still have a tough road in the short/medium term, but we are more or less irreversibly headed in the right direction.

Storage is nowhere near enough if we want self sustainable green energy. And author should compare winter moths when it comes to solar panels production - worst case. Yes, there is development and each day a breaking new battery tech is announced but until these get produced for real in mass quantities, they are vaporware. Mind that we need storage for like at least a week, better a month of energy worth. And that’s a lot of batteries.

Well, we invented emission coupons, didn’t we? /s

Mihies ,

Do you have any data how much of those batteries are in fact in use? For example, Slovenia needs something north of 1.5 * 24 GWh energy for a day. And we are 2 mills population. Plus during winter you need to charge them. With short days of like 5 hours of less than ideal sun if no clouds or fog … good luck. Perhaps eventually we’ll get there, but it’s really far far away.

Mihies ,

It does. EVs are much heavier due to battery weight and have more power and torque. Which all results in more tire wear.

I keep fingers crossed for wireless charging built in road 🤷‍♂️

Mihies ,

Sure, it’s not ideal but in the grand scheme it might be the future as it’d change many aspects starting with battery sizes. It might be a failure as well, due to politics and economics, who knows.

Ha, just yesterday I’ve found my Asus EEE. Sounds like a good fit for similar exercise.
