Pumping a barrel of oil out of the ground costs about $10 in Saudi Arabia, and gives about 1600 kWh. Electricity generally costs around $0.10 to $0.25 per kWH, so if you do the math, you can see that's just enormously profitable. Renew

What I find interesting is how vigorously Tesla denies everything, always, even when they're clearly wrong. They lose a lot of credibility that way; I wonder if Musk[1] realises that if he admitted the things Tesla is obviously doing

That's not how it works. It's dilute enough it's safe to just dump it on the coast already; dumping it at sea would just be a big PR production to make it appear even safer. There's no risk of "water currents causi
