This would definitely work, but would require a big infra adjustment.
I don’t know but I wonder if (and it seems likely that) the time arbitrage of electrons is better/simpler (and cheaper?) solved by batteries now or in a few years time.

- yazaddaruvala 5y agoSorry, I don't mean at home batteries. I mean gird scale batteries at production sites to smooth fluctuations in supply, and virtual producers like Tesla in Texas that store power when its cheap and sell when it's expensive to smooth out fluctuations in demand.
- WalterBright 5y agoI specifically talked about grid scale batteries.
