Yesss, yesssss. We’ve largely “solved” capture. When batteries become efficient enough, storage and transmission will begin to collapse into the same. Let’s hope we make it to a world where self driving trucks are on a constant loop, delivering shed-sized batteries from massive solar farms to power neighborhood-sized grids, and only the last mile is traditional transmission.
- morsch 5y agoSounds like you you are envisioning dedicated trucks that just shuttle around batteries night and day. Why not just leave the batteries on either end (on parked trucks, for all I care) and put up a traditional high voltage transmission line?
- pjc50 5y agoMuch like the "bandwidth of a container full of DLT tapes", it would be entertaining to calculate the amperage of a truck full of 18650 cells driving down the highway. It will probably turn out to be comically small compared to a wire.
