- defrost 7mo agoThat's in line with estimates being bandied about in the Finnish dissertations. Addendum: please don't downvote @red75prime for bringing a fact to a fact based discussion.
- adrianN 7mo agoHeat storage is quite cheap per kWh and has excellent economy of scale.
- hnmullany 7mo agoJust a note that 46,000 is a 2050 target - which covers current demand AND all the growth in electricity and heat demand over the next 25 years.
