I disagree with the concept of V2G,
the estimate for battery life of certain L-I’s
is 3000 cycles.
good enough for a car, but not for
electric-grid load leveling.

I just wanted to point out some illogical
points raised in this thread.

A difference of opinion is what makes a market.

I am looking forward to the day when oil is like water: despite a high intrinsic value, it would have a small market value because the supply is great in relation to demand. In this connection, marginal demand and supply set the price. A small absolute change in either can have a large effect on the price, as witness the current spike in oil prices. If the use of oil in transportation is displaced by electricity generated by coal, nuclear or hydro power, the market price of oil likely will fall to little more than the cost of production. There would no longer be any economic rent accruing to the ownership of oil-producing lands. The Saudis, Iranians, Venuzuelans, Russians, etc. would be deprived of the revenue necessary to support their nihilistic ambitions.

So, I will try to bring to the attention of intelligent, well-informed, independent-thinking, initiative-taking FReepers ideas that will make this happen.

"And a good night to all."
