Sounds like anyone with a modicum of foresight should have been investing in power storage for when the grid breaks
Also 0.12 is cheap but not the cheapest, see for example how much people pay in Quebec
- 7e 3y agoQuebec has hydropower. Texas is flat.
- thefurdrake 3y agoTexas is windy.
- lesuorac 3y agoFlat is pretty easy to change. There's a simple trick they used with making canals for barges back in the day. You dig a 3foot hole and line the sides with a 3foot wall and you get a 6foot deep canal. I suspect the bigger issue with the parent's comment is that just because you know Texas has surge pricing doesn't mean that the surge will be high/long enough to cover the opportunity cost of energy storage. I bet spending say 1 billion on a new oil rig will pay back more money than 1 billion on a pumped storage.
