Already been done. Tesla is selling and installing such batteries right now. Oncor, the largest utility in Texas, is already planning to install billions of dollars worth of the batteries.Nuclear power is one of the heaviest subsidized power sources that leaves behind a problem for centuries. Is it worth the risk? The sun rains down enough energy in the noontime hour to power the planet for a year.What arena is that? There are some deniers & their research has been debunked.
There is indeed something to do about it. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wow, how ugly is that? Cleaner air is such a negative side effect, right?
Motre greenhouse gases increase the greenhouse effect. This is science.
Fine. I'm assuming you support a massive increase in Nuclear power plants to achieve that drop in Greenhouse gas emissions, right?
What a half-assed response.
So where do you store that power from the noontime sun?
There are these things called batteries. Really, I'm not kidding.
The purpose of my statement about the sun was that we should concentrate on research & development to better harness that energy. More efficient panels, better storage options.
Republicans hate solar power because their fossil fuel owners can't charge for it.
If people can come up with those better items, fine. Until then they only proven way to provide base load stability without carbon emissions is fission based steam power.
