US battery storage "shattered deployment records" in Q4 2023.

[Hurricanelover]

This allows us to store the energy that is produced by renewables like solar and wind and use it at night, windless days and when we need it most. This is awesome.

What is the life-span of these batteries ?
Will thye last long enough to pay for themselves ?

One EMP and they are all worthless...

The Duration of Utility-scale Battery Energy Storage: All depends on how you want to use it

Actually, 40 percent is performing both grid services and electricity load shifting applications. Another 40 percent is performing only load shifting, while 20 percent is delivering...

Sheeple sure are gullible.

Why do you folks that want to post topics on twitter, not post the articles, for those of us who want to know more, and have attention spans longer and more in depth than a Tasmanian gnat?

US battery storage smashes deployment records in Q4 2023

The US battery storage market shattered deployment records across all segments in Q4 2023 – a 100% increase from the previous quarter.

. .. yeah, it won't let you DL detailed report with out giving out a name and email addy, so finding out the life span and cost benefit ratio is a no go.

Government tenders drove 137 GW of renewables in 2023, says WoodMac

Analysis from research firm Wood Mackenzie shows solar remained the most awarded form of renewable energy in government tenders last year, but its share of total volume dropped from 59% to 44%. In 2024, government tenders are predicted to at least match 2023 levels.

And where do all the minerals come from used in them? Oh, mining, very dirty mining.

And then to deal with those batteries once they are no longer viable creates another environmental nightmare.

And you still NEED reliable power, meaning nuclear, natural gas, clean coal.

Meaning consumers are paying a lot more because some nutty green energy ideas, which look good on paper suck in the real world suck.

There is a link in the tweet to an article.

There is a link in the tweet to an article.

So why don't folks just post that instead of the tweet?

If folks on USMB wanted to join X and cruise around there to interact, they would, right?

A lot of us, don't like BIG TECH. . . this is what we see from them. .. When someone posts shit from there. . .

That? Just annoying TBH.

 

[MisterBeale]

So. . . click it and have your data tracked, or ignore it and the thread?

But you've got to click the tweet to find it, right? I don't often click tweets or links, especially when posted by "certain people".

Agreed. It would be much nicer, if they would just post the link to the article, or comment on the title of the article, and stahp being so lazy.

Did they even read any of the article? Do they know anything about the topic at all beyond just the headline?

5 billion years. Yes.

Just take my word for it. Never ever look up anything for yourself. Just ask here.

Well when you hear where coal and oil come from, you're going to be shocked.

No, at least not me, I just click on the hyperlink inside the tweet.

Excellent. And as the tech gets better, these energy forms become more economical.

 

[Stryder50]

I ask here because those who make claims should document and substantiate such. At least provide the source of what they claim so the rest of us can determine if what they present is objectively true or just more smoke blown up the backside.

I ask here because those who make claims should document and substantiate such.

What claim, though? You asked questions, expecting someone to look up the answers for you. It just gets old. Nothing personal.

Totally personal since you singled me out and ignored others.

The OP=Opening Post makes a claim about great increase in battery storage for new~alternate electrical energy sources(generators). My question, and point, was that this isn't such a great deal if those "battery storage devices" have short life-spans and/or don't store enough to amortize their costs to produce-acquire-use.

Basic economics question missing from the OP.
Also, my experience in dealing with you is that you have at best a partial grasp on basic economics.
