This is like saying "California purchased enough flashlights for one sunlight beam". Nonsensical at best, but shows a lack of even a high-school level of physics education on Unit comparison and conversion. 5 "nukes" eh? > The state now has enough large-scale batteries to supply 5,600 megawatts of electricity Last I checked, batteries are measured in watt-hours. Ope, I just rechecked, they still are. Technically my car battery could produce 5,600 megawatts. Granted it might only do that for a femtosecond, but thats the whole point: 5,600 megawatts for _how long_? One minute, one hour? Also last I checked, the Boobs by the Sea produced 2,200 megawatts of power. That [nearly] continuous power, not "until muh batteries run out". Yes yes, ramp up times, blah blah, refueling, ::hand waving::, xenon poisoning, ::more hand waving:: So congrats, 5.6gw of power storage _is_ awesome, but it's not "5 nukes" any more than 5 apples are the same as three lasers. I'm 100% behind these storage projects as they reduce the need for "peaker plants", but come on, lets at least a high schooler review these articles for scientific accuracy before going to press.
