Technology

I want a battery in my house big enough for me to lose power for 2 days and still cook with electric stove and have hot water from water heater.

That is my dream for every house. To be able to have a stable power well from some kind of battery fed by a solar + grid sharing. To be able to offer extra power to a neighbor if they need it for a project or a party or help however.

I don't want to be energy isolated from the grid. I want to be energy insulated and be of the grid.

I wish hydroelectricity was there.

What happened to Nuclear option?

I know it's basically a physical impossibility but here hoping to another 89% in the next 10 years (compared to today)

Price of onshore wind is about as low as solar.

I'd like to add wind to my solar eventually. Multi-modal makes a lot of sense to me. Pretty sure my solar installers don't do that and I have no idea who does do that...if anyone. I'll investigate someday.

It's wild to me that 19% difference between the drop of on shore wind and solar to the same price point is massive, like that extra 19% drop in solar is quite literally more than half of the solar previous cost, about $230.

Are the renewables including cost of storage in this graphic? Batteries are a lot more needed with wind and solar since they aren't always available.

Also, I'd imagine nuclear would enjoy a similar level of success if there were more countries willing to invest in nuclear.

Where's hydro? Because it would be a straight line at the bottom...
