IIUC, it’s variable D/C which must be regulated and/or inverted to A/C involving more hardware, conversion, and waste.

Actually, I had a discussion about this with someone who really knows this stuff recently, and we figured that the inversion process isn’t actually that inefficient. The efficiencies achieved are often >95%, so there isn’t actually a lot of loss.

yes, and more importantly, normal Hydro plants could be updated to release water at selected times, to create “on-demand power”. The energy is stored in the water behind the dam. So conventional, already-existing hydro dams can perform a two-sided function: Storing water, and to release it on-demand. Like a battery that is refilled by nature.

My idea is that most Hydro-Power plants can be used as reservoirs with little modification.

And biomass can be burned at whatever moment you like (provided you have the plants to do so), so it is “on-demand power” in some sense.

I guess you should do what makes most sense to you.

There is no such moral obligation as to “have children” or “don’t have children”. The choice should be yours.

billionaires are a cancer of society and need to be cut out. they think of nothing but their own growth and will damage all of the system because of it. we need to get rid of them before it’s too late.

Edit: better yet, we need policies that disencourage their behavior.

solar energy is the cheapest form of energy at this point. capitalism will drive the green energy revolution forward from now on.
