      Yeah, you still don’t really seem to grasp the scales here. A 400 MWh is nice for a small Australian town, but a piss in the wind for an industrial centre.

        You’re just wrong. Battery systems smaller than this have already paid for themselves reducing brown outs and dramatically reducing or eliminating the need for peaker plants, which are always the worst for the environment. This is only about scale and the cost of batteries has dropped dramatically just in the last few years. Again, it’s not 1995.

          Again, it’s not 1995.

          Keep saying that a few more times and maybe you can wish your imaginary battery technology into existance.

            Facts are facts bra. The technology is there, it’s proven, and only getting better and cheaper.
