Too heavy, and too big. This is compared to an automotive battery though. They take up the size of something like a fridge. They are also expensive but prices are bound to come down once production is up. But they have claimed zero capacity degradation for decades they say. And the liquid inside is a fire retardant, so if you puncture a battery that would actually put out the fire.
There are number of videos on YouTube, it’s an interesting technology.
There’s absolutely a problem with how MIT Tech Review has phrased it. It could’ve been phrase like “modern power generation requires innovate solutions to the gride and large scale grid upgrades.” But no they blamed it has a Solar problem, not a grid problem.
I see headlines all the time such as “The US highways need a 1 Trillion investment in the next decade”. How come they aren’t phrased like “The problem with trucks and cars is that they destroy roads, leading to Trillions of cost to the taxpayer”. They’ve decided that transportation is non-negotiable and it’s needed. But renewable electricity is not?
Flow battery drawbacks aren’t drawbacks for home use, let alone grid scale.
Twitter and Reddit went so much to shit and lowered the bar so much that Meta actually became almost not bad in my eyes, almost.
Say that Arch and Nix are stupid and anything other than Ubuntu is just meaningless.
Apparently she doesn’t have a good parent either.
WWW3 when?
Eh. Using public well used spaces as your own personal living space is selfish and disrespectful of everyone else.
Hopefully you support a ban on private vehicles then? Special big trucks and SUVs.
Homelessness in no way has gone away, and in fact grew 7%, to 8,300 in January, according to the same federal count.
Then YOUR gymnastics are at the Russian elite spy level in a Bond movie.
Yeah, instead we buy gym memberships and toil away at the gym. Or die of a heart attack by age 45. Progress!
Sheesh.
It went to the same place Japanese phones, electronics and robots went.
ikr? How dare they!
Mozilla and Safari.
According to the post description, he was punished AFTER he ticketed the higher ranking cop’s friend. Where did you pick up the being punished before part?
Seeing that they oppose school lunches, gun control and free healthcare, not your children’s lives either.
Because politicians usually don’t bite the corporate hand that feeds them.
“Damaging equipment” is just nonsense. I’ve got an off-grid solar system. When the battery is fully charged the solar panels simply stops producing. It has potential (voltage) but no current until you draw power. Just like a battery is full of energy but it just sits there until you draw power from it.
All solar systems could have smart switches to intelligently disconnect from the grid as needed, some inverter already do this automatically. So it’s not a technical problem. It’s a political problem.
