Honestly in some ways this is such a stupid solution to the problem.

When it comes to cost saving or on the other side of the coin efficiency. The most useful thing is to remove it not make it cheap.

We should be looking and giving people very good and easy alternatives elsewhere were they don't need call centres at all.

I called my doctors a million times to book an appointment and if I could have done it all online I would have. This is how many times I called:

Went to hospital and Dr told me book drs appointment.

called to book
they call back asked futher questions

got one (got told to come back by doctor)

can't book that doctor for the future call up first thing in the morning at our busiest and we can rush you in. (I then got a job so needed to book)
we have no staff call back when we do (didnt say when)
called. We have no appointments call be next week. "Can I book that Dr"? "I don't know. You'll have to call back Tuesday"
I'll call back next tuesday.

This isn't fixed with an AI this is fixed by me being able to book an appointment online. If the Dr needs to give me a slip for one booking approval to not be abused so be it. Receptionist doesn't need to know my business so fuck them.

He's not unreasonable he's just a dickhead.

Give him money and he will do what you want, fuck anyone else or his country.

He is being completely reasonable if all he cares about is himself. He's just a dickhead.

I'm sure someone mentioned that girls with one hairstyle is trashy or something. You know like "those type of people". Whatever the other women look down on.

Trashy women going to cheat.

At least thats how it has been explained to me. I'm jot even American so I dont know

Russia classifies population data as birth rates plunge to 200-year low

Jump

Wanderer @lemm.ee 9mo ago

Think its more high house prices and low wages. But the wealthy are more concerned with making money so immigration is at an all time high meaning house prices keep going up even when wages are kept below market value and training is non existent.

Factcheck: Why expensive gas – not net-zero – is keeping UK electricity prices so high

Jump

Wanderer @lemm.ee 9mo ago

I wish I had time to read it now. But I'll get to it tomorrow

Is there any talk on here (or elsewhere) about being able to run the grid entirely without gas. Seems like currently gas has to be running in some form even if that means turning off renewables. I haven't heard anything concrete about fixing that. Just seems hand waving vaguely long enough into the future we don't care.

It doesn't seem like anyone is treating it as a big issue.

Edit: not in the article. Hopefully we just throw up so many batteries eventually it happens.

Tesla paid Powerwall owners $10 million through virtual power plants

Jump

Wanderer @lemm.ee 9mo ago

Is that until the battery stops working or till the 10,000 cycles 10 year guarantee?

Because there would still be life in it after that

Texas Senate passes bill requiring solar plants to provide power at night

Jump

Wanderer @lemm.ee 9mo ago

No batteries don't count.

"The Texas Senate on Wednesday passed a bill to create a new “dispatchable” power credits trading program that would effectively require utilities, generation companies and electric cooperatives in Electric Reliability Council of Texas territory to offset new renewables and battery capacity — with an equal amount of new dispatchable capacity beginning as early as next year.

The bill’s definition of “dispatchable” excludes batteries while also exempting power generation companies that exclusively operate battery energy storage systems from the dispatchable power generation requirement."

Sometimes we create our own problems.

Wanderer @lemm.ee 10mo ago

I'll be interested to see what happens with this.

New forms of industry will work out if you got very low capital costs and high energy costs. The factory is going to be running, what? At most 25% of the year? Probably more like under 10 and unpredictable. That's going to be so weird for profitability.

I feel like storing the hydrogen itself could be an issue. Storing methane seems way easier so I wonder if that happens instead. But is it cheap to make a device that can make huge amount of hydrogen or methane? I have no idea and no one seems to know what's going to happen yet.

I just expect most of it to be dumped. Because it's 1 less thing to buy.

Neat, a point by point breakdown. Love those. In no way are they fingernails to the blackboard of internet discussion

Well unfortunately your mental capacity seems to make it a necessity.

That's what the whole comment is about. "Why" is the entire thesis of the comment. It is the comments entire raison d'être. In summary: the inefficiencies inherent to distributed implementation, the lack of service infrastructure, the short lifespans of the high-density battery chemistries needed in residential installs, etc.

The question is about why you think solar is good for home but not batteries. That hasn't been explained. You used grid issues as a reasoning and inefficiencies. Which is exactly the same as as solar and that was the whole reason for the question in the first place. I'm sorry you're not getting that, I made the fatal assumption you had some intelligence behind you but I'm being proved wrong. You can't even understand simple conversations. The only actual point you made is wear on batteries but that only matters for a financial and environmental factors but your point falls flat on it's face with both. I guess you did also say batteries are better on the grid than at home but that was accepted before the conversation started and the same with solar (at least for me and hence the conversation). The financial business reasonings is just mind blowing, businesses and consumers like to make money and they both do. Financially, batteries aren't some Elon conspiracy theory, that's just business. That seems too much for you. But solar has the same ideas about paybacks so I do struggle to see how you think one works and the other doesn't. Ah well I guess an answer to that isn't coming.

I don't really care, though. It's got nothing to do with the points I was making, which is why I didn't address it. It's largely irrelevant.

Its not though because you think a businessman isn't doing businessman things. That's how its directly relevant to what you said.

internalise sic]

Hahahaha this is the icing on the cake. Your arrogance matches your stupidity. Look if you're going to try correct someone at least spend 10 seconds on google, but obviously that's too much for you. That's how that's words spelt. Hahaha that says it all about your conversation doesn't it? That should be the end of it, but at least I'll finish this comment off.

Okay, no. This is not how residential demand or load balancing or power infrastructure works. There's components you're assuming exist that would have to run on magic to be safe (some kind of automatic interlock cut-in), and even those would absolutely devastate the grid by constantly adding and removing whole residential loads at random.

I don't know what to say. When solar is used in the house it doesn't go down the lines. There is less demand on the wires that's just fact.

I'm sorry. I known you want to come across like you know stuff but I just started by asking you about a simple point and you've come across really badly both in terms of intelligence and in delivery. Good luck with both in the future.

Crude oil futures end week lower as market eyes potential for increased supply amid OPEC+ tiff

Jump

Wanderer @lemm.ee 10mo ago

Yes but the trend has changed. Oil demand was growing largely due to China. That has stagnated massively. The change is trend of demand links with a change in the supply from Russia. I'm not on expert on these matters and I don't want to come across like that.

But it seems if China didn't stop increasing we would have had price issues.

With dropping oil prices American firms won't want to drill. Also imports of materials has gone up and China has stopped buying American LNG.

though the generator is going to be far more eco friendly than the batteries over their respective lifetimes

That's just not true.

vastly inferior solution to the implementation of even local grid scale solutions.

Same as solar. But you seem to be pro rooftop solar but not home grids and no explanation why.

Also because there is essentially 0 infrastructure designed to handle said batteries,

Makes no sense because the struggles the grid currently has with solar will be offset. Home batteries reduces demand on the grid and internalise production and demand more into the house.

they wear out quite quickly at home scales (unless you're using uncommon chemistries, but if you're using iron-nickle batteries you're not the target audience here)

In a cost exercise if the batteries last longer than the payback period they are worth it. Which is the case so that point is meaningless.

and because Elon popularized them with his "powerwall" bullshit entirely to pump the stock value of Tesla's battery plant (which is it's own spectacular saga I encourage you to look up, it's a real trip).

I don't under a CEO pushes a good product that helps the grid and helps consumers make money. Your bias against Elon is just limiting your world view.

Batteries in the walls are useful in niches, but the current technology which uses lipo/lion/lifepo4 chemistries is inherently flawed and a route to both dead linemen and massive amounts of E-waste.

Chemistry has nothing to do with electrons on the wires so that doesn't make sense. Lithium ion batteries are recyclable. Yes batteries are Bette Ron the grid but getting them connected is hard. Same solar, waste on roofs but thats how it goes. The arguments are the same.
