So, remind me again how much storage it takes to keep a grid going for a week? And please don't confuse GW for GWh.

- epistasis 6y agoThere is nobody who is saying "let's fix the grid and design a system that will be reliable" in Texas. It's just people raising money to build projects that they think can make money. Right now, there's more and more people thinking they can make money with batteries, and fewer and fewer people thinking that gas can make money on the grid. Which, if we are to believe the hypothesis that markets make good capital allocations decisions, says that they future of the grid is battery backup, and no more gas backup. This is a process of transition, so pointing at the current amount and saying "that's not enough" is going to be obvious.
