But according to HN armchair engineers, electricity will be free, nay, negatively priced in T+epsilon as exponential decrease in solar panel prices actually turns them negative. Or maybe even imaginary.
THEN it definitely makes sense.
- more_corn 2y agoWholesome energy prices do in fact turn negative. But then you store it in batteries and use it when they flip positive again. No complicated, expensive, delicate, dangerous, cryogenic fuel systems required.
