Four big storage projects by Georgia Power

[HikerGuy83]

Coal fired plants and natural gas plants are guaranteed to catch fire.

What stupidity is contained in this statement?

Answer: It's measured in tons.

Pumped hydro has long been in use, and just one project near Goldendale, Washington will be capable of providing 12 hours of power for 500,000 households.

Please give us the numbers on this one. I'd love to see them. It takes energy to pump that stuff up and you don't get that back.

It's a net loser all the way around.

Boy are you stupid.

You did say something dumb, you said they cant compare the costs yet they do compare the costs.

And how often will they be replacing them. They have a very finite life.

Yep. That too has to be factored into the cost comparison. Which is also something they never do.

In spite of the Trumpanzees opposition, Georgia power is adding 575 Mw of storage. The utility bean counters know what the future is. And they see no reason to listen to Trump or anybody else when it comes to the bottom line.

"Given that one megawatt is enough to power 750 homes, the 765-megawatt combined output should be enough to provide electricity to over 570,000 homes."

Do you know how they will be charging those batteries?
