True. EII exempted industries, outside super red periods is probably closest....

TBH outside locational constraints, the market already does just drop the price to zero and below - in fact down to negative €700 in Netherlands this summer. Batteries love negative prices, but they can only mop up so much. As you say, lets see!

Energy Exemplar has got another thing coming if they think this is how to stay competitive with open source models. This just tells me that the open energy modeling community is onto something! 🔌💡

Depends what its for. For power storage the whole point is only to make hydrogen when you have nothing else to do with the power. Royal Society report sees up to 30% load factor on electrolysers in this role. royalsociety.org/-/media/poli...

"Monthly GB wind curtailments in October were around 1.3TWh, close to double the previous highest month ever - though it wasn't super windy" Interesting @tombent.bsky.social H2 into NTS makes sense here, we can't keep paying £billions to stop production of wind www.linkedin.com/posts/tom-be...

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic. www.jstor.org/stable/24923...

A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

I thought you lived in a Bond villain lair inside a volcano. Somewhat disappointed, though Leeds is nice too.

Got excited by this… and then saw its 3 hours, which isn’t really long duration in my terminology at least. Lithium is so cheap now that 6 hour batteries are planned in GB.

Polite correction- you’re out by a factor of one thousand… $0.8bn, even if you value it at full delivered cost. UK curtailment is running around 6TWh and costing consumers about £1bn (on a slightly different sum basis).
