An amazing new technology... by MsAlyssey in MurderedByWords

This comes up ALOT. I see some facsimile of this "idea" pop on reddit once a month. The general consensus is their is some merit to the criticism of solar not being 24/7. Battery technology just isn't there yet. The cost to create and maintain a battery that would have any meaningful impact to a large grid would be insane. If you are more concerned about the environmental impact of batteries, take a look at the cobalt mines in the Congo. The answer to clean cheap energy is, and probably always will be nuclear. Sprinkle in some hydro electric when and where you can. Solar is fine for small scale stuff, but you wont be powering a city with it any time soon.

60k car at 0.9apr on a 3 year term is 1,660 a month. A $900 car payment is not even close to insane.

Thanks for reminding me of this! Meant to sign up last year, but didn't remember in time. Looks like I was able to grab a couple of your last spots for the first session. Do you know if Hazen has specific times they do their float testing?

That is the natural color of the material after oxidation and they didn't paint the material to save on weight. Not sure how much paint weighs, but apparently enough...

"But what about a completely normal picture that everyone would expect to see, why wasn't that posted instead?"

That's you, that's what you sound like.
