Politicizing an engineering problem always fails, but this time I can't wait to buy these batteries on ebay sold as refurbished, when the politicians and executives come to the realization the project won't meet their expectations -- because the battery technology just isn't there yet, and they have to switch back to diesel generators. Like the ones we've been using since the 1930s (even before that) to deal with problems like this.
- epistasis 10y agoWho's doing the politicization here, though? The energy industry has been hyper-politicized for decades, and highly biased against changing technologies. The batteries are going to work as engineered, it's straightforward technology. The only question is the cost of those batteries. This is also not a huge amount of batteries compared to, say, electric car batteries.
