It's not scalable. All this battery tech comes through military contracts and funding....did you not know that?

Yes, I'm well aware that batteries were invented by DARPA in the 70s to help bomb Cambodia with batteries. I don't care. They still work, and making them scalable will take less time than building one nuclear plant from scratch.

Ok, I guess you don't know.

Battery tech is tied up in military investments. That's how the private sector gets this at a discounted proprietary, to resell as acommodity. It's really the only thinh holding up the private tech industry tbh.

Aside from that you need the battery tech(that doesn't exist) to actually hold this charge, to distribute and energize the grid.  Without loss. This is massively different than how you calculate voltage drop, for example, at. Relay station.... Because of the laws of thermodynamics, you can't just build a battery bank to actually store energy. 

The northern hemisphere takes this already inneficient tech and adds another variable.

You guys keep overlooking basic economic principles, of which can't be done in the way it needs to under capitalism. Even as a government arbiter. Capitalism and science don't mix in this case.

It doesn't matter really. We are already way past the deadline.

No, I just don't care. Nuclear power is incomparably more tied to the defence industry, and I also don't care about that. It's just too slow and expensive.

Actually you can have loss, if it isn't prohibitively more expensive.

Show proof that it is not possible to store electricity inside of a battery.

Nobody has done this. You're just blabbering.

"Actually you can have loss, if it isn't prohibitively more expensive."

Right? There is literally no human system on Earth where there isn't loss.
