That’s nice and makes a dent. 18,248,000 MWh/year so 49,994MWh per day. The batteries at this site are 3,287MWh, so they can store about 6.5% of the average daily Californian use. 875 megawatts peak power for maybe 5h per day is 437MWh almost 10% of CA daily consumption. And it’s highest in summer, when the ACs are running, so that’s nice. Please check my math! EIA

That movie came out in 1986. How could he possibly have known about Elon Muska and Twitter, and the violent takeover and ensuing disintegration of the platform?

It’s quite the relevation. It’s all right there.

I read somewhere that it is normal of humans to overestimate progress in the short term, and underestimate it in the long term.

That gives me hope, assuming we have a long enough term for all this progress to manifest.

Maybe for a long tail - but I think there were a few reports from other places that phaseout can happen faster than expected :) I am just worried that fossil prices drop because nobody buys them, making it super cheap again.
