duration is how long the storage will last which is related to the energy storage which you could call capacity but they already used that word so I guess duration makes sense... I'm not a grid operator though

From a grid operator perspective its capacity https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/what-generation-capacity Capacity = Maximum Power Output Capacity is the amount of electricity a generator can produce when it’s run

Grid attached storage is growing and is also a good use of used cells repurposed from EVs (vs. direct recycling and recovery of metals) when their capacity is degraded beyond usefulness for mobile applications they remain valuable for stati

I don't think grid access fees should be equal personally. Why does someone in a condo in San Jose pay the same as someone in a remote Sierra foothill community (ex. Omo Ranch) with extremely high fire danger which is leading to enormo

I really like that video. However, I think this could have been done with X-rays by adding heavy salts (ex. sodium metatungstate or vastly more hazardous thallium salts) to the water or using a heavy organic liquid (ex. diiodomethane). Howe

Fluorite (CaF2) lenses and windows are also used for infrared applications as they transmit much better than glass.

It seemed to, the dispersion is different so you can cancel the dispersion from glass (dispersion is the refractive index variation with wavelength).

I hadn't told the agent at the desk I never drove a Tesla, that was the guy who handed me the keys. It seemed mostly about concerns related to charging and high costs of repairs.

I agree, if it was just the issue with showing me the car it would have been excusable, although I'm not sure what would happen to someone less tech-savy, but anyways. It was the combination of issues at every step along the way that m

I rented a Tesla from Hertz once in Houston and the whole experience was terrible. Got to the counter and the agent first suggested that I take a gas car for $25/day. I was confused because that was so cheap, although the Tesla was alr
