Battery Surge on Our Side with Climate Change

Ten years ago we recall green energy denialists saying wind and solar could never replace fossil and nuclear. That was because they could not imagine electricity generation without large, base load power stations. The battery surge and fresh imagination have put paid to all that. We just need the will and determination to see the conversion through.

Is the Battery Surge the Fastest-Growing Industrial Sector

The Good Men Project believes the battery surge is the fastest trend on the planet. They welcome it in terms of how they believe 21st century man should behave, this includes being environmentally friendly.

They speak with excitement regarding the $ billions going into battery storage research and how this sweeps old arguments aside. Furthermore they dismiss the alleged need to keep building fossil fuel and nuclear power stations. We already see batteries as large as houses on electricity networks where AI brings them on line in nano seconds. We are excited to be alive in these thrilling times.

Battery prices will fall 50% over the next ten years as US$600 billion goes into large-scale storage batteries. “The generally-held belief there was no way to store electricity has been disproved,” Climate News Network says. “The battery surge means it is now just a question of finding the easiest and most economic way of doing it.”

The factors causing climate change are on the back foot as the search successfully continues for green energy alternatives. Vanadium flow batteries are making huge inroads into the need for extra energy during peak demand. The case is also stronger for business people and homeowners to sell their green electricity when they are away or asleep.

The key battle has been about price since practical experience proved green energy works. Surely there would be nothing holding us back now were it not for a cautious approach in the energy industry.

I tripped over a shrinking bank balance and fell into the writing gig unintentionally. This was after I escaped the corporate world and searched in vain for ways to become rich on the internet by doing nothing. Despite the fact that writing is no recipe for wealth, I rather enjoy it. I will not deny I am obsessed with it when I have the time. I live in Margate on the Kwazulu-Natal south coast of South Africa. I work from home where I ponder on the future of the planet, and what lies beyond in the great hereafter. Sometimes I step out of my computer into the silent riverine forests, and empty golden beaches for which the area is renowned. Richard
