Decades of Watermelon “Nimbyism” have created an antiquated, vulnerable and inefficient “grid” system. Now the same folks want to further increase our dependence upon this tottering technical nightmare with NUG solar/wind/whatever transient sources by claiming “its green”. Of course they completely ignore the costs - financial and environmental - the additional thousands of miles of grid interconnects would impose, without reducing reliance upon coal as many units would have to be kept on “spinning reserve” in order to level out supply. >PS

I’m glad to see someone else who gets it. We must move away from the centralized grid delivery system to a local distributed network or even better off the network entirely.

Imagine this “goo” could eventually hold enough of a charge to power a typical home for a month.

The possibilities are endless.
