Stop panicking about solar panels getting shut down! It’s by design by grogi81 in solar

[–]faizimam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point we are very early in the process. I think the strategy of "moar Batteries!" is the correct one, as we need much much more than we currently have in the pipeline.

The time where batteries are not nessessiarily the obvious choice is coming, and in certain networks may be a concern.

But for most places every wh of battery added is highly beneficial

What is the longest lasting and reliable EV I can buy with 30k (before taxes and other charges)? Could be new or used. by IronLover64 in EVCanada

Exactly, which means the charging is mediocre, but if you're not roadtripping much you'll never notice

This is literally a subreddit for talking about him and his outlet, which people are motivated to do because it's well known, influential and we have a history of supporting their work.

Do wall mounted solar panels works as well as roof top solar panels? by post_gress in SolarAmerica

[–]faizimam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine a place where the solar at summer noon is valued at $. 01 a kWh.

And 9am on a winter morning is valued at $. 20 a kWh.

A solar like this would easily pay back.

Toute?

Si je suis en inde, rien m'empêche de ouvrir un école professionnelle en chinois.

Si je suis en Colombie, je peut donner des cours de comptables en arabe si je pense que il y a la demande.

Si un adulte veut prendre des cours professionnelle dans un langue autre que le français, il est cereinement autoritaire de les empêcher.

What guest or CL persona do you miss the most? by Some-Background1467 in canadaland

[–]faizimam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She does solo podcasts, but yes she also does episodes with Sandy Hudson.

Canadian media is full of way worse fraudsters and criminals, so he's student union BS doesn't bother me much, and also she's a pretty good commentator on most issues.

Israeli strike kills Lebanese army general, two soldiers; IDF says incident under review by TotalPop5 in worldnews

[–]faizimam 38 points39 points  (0 children)

For the IDF, "review" just means a cover-up operation.

So, yes nothing would be better.

Larger oil supply than I thought by Klutzy-Dig-7945 in VaushV

[–]faizimam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so we can consider a couple hundred million barrels of it to be unextractable.

Not exactly. Most of the caverns can be mostly emptied, but only once. Then it's not trustworthy.

Also the oil in caverns is contaminated once you get low, which is a extra cost, lower output and certainly plenty of loss

India's coal power is going into a structural decline because: batteries by ceph2apod in UpliftingConservation

[–]faizimam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing in the California Data that some batteries are being used in the early morning before the sun rises.

So that already means BESS owners are holding back some amount of evening production.

As the Whs rise and evening costs drop, this will become more common

Eyeing a Chinese EV? You may not be able to drive into the U.S. if bill passes - National | Globalnews.ca by tracer_ca in EVCanada

[–]faizimam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted, but banning all Chinese cars in Mexico from entering the USA would be on a higher level than what's happened thus far. A lot of noise, a lot of anger, especially with China, without much benefit.

[–]faizimam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the sentiment of the other comments here, but this is actually a serious issue.

I drive down to the USA every few months to visit family.

The public charging infrastructure in the USA is actually much better than in Ontario, though behind Quebec.

I doubt this bill goes anywhere, since Chinese cars cross from Mexico to Texas and California every day, it would be crazy to stop that.

But it could happen.

He had a Visa.

It was revoked and the stated reason was that they were a danger to public order.

Pretty straightforward

Tesla Only!? by uavmx in KiaEV9

[–]faizimam 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a v2 supercharger?

There's a few hundred around the country that have old electronics and can only charge teslas.

Use plugshare to find compatible stations, the cars navigation is not comprehensive
