Mastodawn

sbi Jun 4, 2023

In spring 2022, after having been in one too many discussions about batteries, energy storage, and renewable share in energy grids, I decided to write a Twitter 🧵 on the subject, trying to collect what I have learned in the decade before that. I think it's high time I transferred this to mastodon, as long as I still can at least read Twitter.
Also, there are a few things I wanted to improve on that thread, so this is my chance.

Absolutely pathetic

A decentralised energy system based on wind and solar is far less vulnerable to war, blockades and oil shocks than one built around fossil fuels.
