That animation is garbage. The storage levels make no sense. A proper system never exports to the grid until the battery is full.
It could be, but solar panels aren’t an option for most Americans. For example, Arizona a (had?) has laws in place to fight people using the blazing sun to steal money from SRP (power company). Essentially saying you can’t have them. I’m sure many lead poisoned red states feel the same.
I think this is a freight train they can slow, but not stop. Panels are getting cheaper and cheaper. And balcony solar has started to emerge.
I think you’re right, but I also think there’s 1000 miles of track before it pulls into the Reality Station. By then we will be dead.
Part of it, yes. Agrivoltaics is another good part. Charging for electricity on a sliding scale is another part. Stop giving data centers discounts on electricity.
Also can we stop making all black rooftops?
