But nobody is saying that.

Sure about that? Al is as rude as he ever gets when it comes to technical subjects. And I’m taking it easy on him.

Any more than you saying a year ago that solar technology without more efficient battery storage could not be a significant base load source of power…… was an absolute statement of “We can’t”.


Hmm. What all have I said about energy? I’ve said that energy is the ballgame. I’ve saved more mW adding up to MW than most human beings in the planet. You jokers who use a PC or a Mac - my fingerprints are in both - are welcome.

Battery tech today isn’t great. But what I’ve also said is that silicon anode technology and solid state batteries (which are in development today) will help fix that.

What I also said was that government mandating this crap was bad idea when the tech wasn’t ready.

Which is a completely different thing than this topic.

Gold star to you for trying, brown star for the results.
