And all of them add to the expense of renewables.

Added costs for energy storage and tons more transmission lines for infrequent energy sources being mpved to where its in surplus to where its needed is being completely ignored as long as it's riding on the back of fossil fuel power.

Look for something cheaper at scale: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=move_a_mountain_for_energy_storage

Quote:
The company Energy Cache is pursuing a different option for mountainside energy storage. In their system a series of scoops attached to a ski lift like system move up and down the mountain side. A each end of the transport system the scoop travels over and under a hopper. When passing over the hopper the scoops can depoisit graven into the receptacle and when passing under the hoper they can recieve a load of gravel from the receptical. In the energy storage mode the scoops receive gravel at the bottom of hill and deposit gravel the top of the hill. In the energy production mode this sequence is reversed. The gravel lift is powered by a reverisible generator/motor as is the train engine in the ARES system.

Ain't got any mountains around here.
Nearest are between 200 and 240 miles away.

Here is something interesting.
Voters are more worried about drug addiction, cost of health care, fake news, our political system, violence crime than they are worried about climate change.
Accordingto pew research.

Eric Dollard is still working, he will be at a conference in Idaho demonstrating Tesla technology:


At this time stamp, he shows Ecomodder-style animated charts: https://youtu.be/PkrzXUyvSDg?t=1122

In addition to validating Tesla technology (which he says will be used for communication since power transmission isn't compatible with digital tech), He's working on an earthquake prediction system and an AM crystal radio.

This is what our climate crisis looks like. Things are going to get rougher and rougher - and if we act decisively and in a big way - we might be able to slow the rate of decline.

We have caused a great big problem. A month's worth of rain in 24 hours ...

I'm not going to link directly in order to protec Ecomodder, but it's important to look at what the young folk think.

If you can find a site called Bit*chute and find a poster named soph, her last post on 2019-06-02 takes Greta Thunberg to task. I found it very informative. And amusing.

Looks like it's most a climate crisis for people who live on a flood plain or at sea level.
