Tesla Megapack peaking plants up to 730-MWh

While I slept, Tesla's been selling their modular, plug-and-play, Megapack, grid-scale battery systems to supplant natural gas-fired turbine peaking plants.
April 2022, the Moss Landing, California, PG&E facility opened, with 730-MWh capacity.
They're in Australia, Alaska, Japan, and Texas as well.
As with their cars and trucks, these peaking plants receive over-the-air software upgrades, and have 'Powerhub' and 'Autobidder' packages which help monitoring & control, machine-learning, and automatic energy trading functions.
They're saving the customers money, and have up to a 20-year warranty.
Tesla's Gigafactory, Nevada is @ 92% recycling efficiency of Lithium-ion batteries.
Panasonic's Megapack, solar, hydrogen fuel cell: Kusatsu, Kyoto, Japan, Ene-Farm, manufacturing facility is hedging alternate energy technologies to cover all, power interruption contingencies.
In light of global governmental impotency, filthy, on-going climate conferences, and inability to actually 'act,' in dealing with climate challenges, it may turn out that, capitalists just go ahead and solve the problem on their own, and get wealthy in the process.
