Super cool and detailed text about batteries, and powering our houses using only the power of the sun, with or without batteries.

It's actually so smart that I wonder why our appliances and houses don't already work this way. I guess we're just lazy because fossile fuel energy is so abundant and cheap...

I just love how poetic his narration is.

I tend to take many buses and trains in the winter time in Berlin and spend some of that time waiting at bus stops and train stations. Most overground train stations in Berlin are built like greenhouses, with many windows, and bus stops are usually outside. I often imagine how beautiful it would be if these stations were filled with greenery. Plants offer soo much more than aesthetic delight ... they clean air, reinforce structures, invite other animals to rest and provide an overall sense of calm... I mean if train companies are going to maintain stations, why not add plants, and if passengers are going to wait, why not make it enjoyable #SolarPunkCities #berlinbvg #moreplants ...ps. Excuse the edit, I missed a word and some of my grammer sounded weird lol
