What about the externalities of harvesting battery components? And battery replacements? The externalities of manufacturing panels?
Wouldn't it be easier to build several large scale nuclear plants and offset it with a small amount of renewables than try to make all of our power run off of rechargeable batteries?
- bhhaskin 7y agoYes. The ugly truth is rechargable batteries are very hardcore, and have to be replaced every few years. The amount of very hazardous waste generated if every house was fitted with a battery system would be astronomical. Sure nuclear power produces a fair bit of radioactive waste, but it can be managed and controlled. And that is with current technology. Just imagine the advancements that could be made on future generations of nuclear technology.
