What does it mean to do battery-based power generation?
- ceejayoz 7mo agoIt means you charge the batteries when you have extra power (like a sunny day), and you use that charge to handle the times you don't.
- recursive 7mo agoHm, so that seems to kind of obscure how that power actually got generated. Maybe it was all coal, although that seems unlikely. It seems like battery usage is important to measure. But calling it generation seems to obscure something, unless they're double-counting the generation. That's misleading in another way though.
- ceejayoz 7mo agoIt's not coal. Here's the chart with everything but battery+solar turned off. https://imgur.com/a/5HfjAdI https://imgur.com/a/5HfjAdI Makes the scenario quite clear. No double counting.
