DC Tom Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yikes - haven't been on this thread for a while....looks like I haven't missed anything: Anyhoo : http://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2015-03-11/battery-hackers-are-building-the-future-in-the-garage Pretty cool article - once battery storage jumps a couple of levels - you guys can shut down this thread - Most power will be sun/wind/geothermal/water - with no CO2/ geopolitical considerations - or for that matter cost considerations... How much can be solved by science.... Call me when a solution actually exists. Until then, it's wishful thinking, not science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 What about the power that can be generated from it? You mean like the air plane flying around the world on solar power? I do hope it makes it. Don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 You mean like the air plane flying around the world on solar power? I do hope it makes it. Don't you? Nope because that will help solar become more popular which only hurts poor people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 You mean like the air plane flying around the world on solar power? I do hope it makes it. Don't you? They already have one. It has a greater wingspan than a 747, flies two people, has a top speed of 43 mph, and only flies at night. Don't expect any commercial applications anytime soon.

So you're saying poor people will be able to afford to put solar panels on their homes (often rentals) to take advantage of the cheap solar energy?

Which will all get to the poor because with all the taxation and social safety nets we have already the poor have almost completely disappeared. Funny how the poor have stayed poor or in come cases gotten poorer but politicians are becoming millionaires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

....lybob Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 What you fellas don't understand is that our power grid is full of Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and ISIL malware just sitting there waiting to be exploited thus moving people off grid is a national security issue and as a national security issue we can throw unlimited money at the problem and if you want to fight against that then you are traitors who want to weaken America.
