Hardware support for a codec is a business decision decision, it doesn’t require a tech/physics breakthrough as renewables storage at city and country scale does, it’s not remotely comparable.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoRenewable storage is also a business decision? Like we know how to build enough storage, it's just very expensive using current technology. In the limit, you can just make a lot of these: https://e360.yale.edu/features/in-boost-for-renewables-grid-scale-battery-storage-is-on-the-rise https://e360.yale.edu/features/in-boost-for-renewables-grid-...
- CodesInChaos 5y agoThat article is pretty confusing, since it only talks about the power of those batteries, not how much energy they can store. Or is it confusing MWh with MW?
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoI don't necessarily vouch for this particular article. My point is merely that grid scale battery is no longer a question of technology, but money.
- pjc50 5y ago> renewables storage at city and country scale does That's also a business decision, just with a bigger number attached. And hitherto it's been far cheaper to use gas. But that's now a "conflict mineral".
- kyrra 5y agoNickel is a conflict material now too.
