@arstechnica #DistributedRenewables require #DistributedStorage

Never mind the brand name or even the specific type of battery (lithium); many types of #DistributedStorage exist. The point is, collective availability when needed. https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/22/06/26/2245228/tesla-pays-powerwall-owners-to-form-virtual-power-plant-in-california

Unlike centralised #NukeMafia & #FossilMafia generation, #DistributedRenewable & #DistributedStorage energy jobs will be permanent, as individual units are replaced every 20 years or so, compared to 40-60 yr for current dinosaurs.

Imagine how many quality local job opportunities have been lost because of the insistence to invest in coal at the expense of tax payers and citizens. https://twitter.com/nickhedley/…

Or, just build #DistributedStorage to even out the supply from #DistributedRenewables.

"Developing gas infrastructure would put the next generation of gas workers and their communities in the same challenging position that coal workers are experiencing today."

Just build nuclear

#SouthAfrican grid is notoriously inadequate in Northern Cape which has most potential for solar & wind. Batteries inevitable. #DistributedRenewables #DistributedStorage

12. Grid connections are the gold dust for the solar (and wind) project development business. To optimize use, we now see solar & wind farms with capacity much larger than the grid connection, some with batteries.
