I would love to see the environmental impact study on that project... "Everything will be fine (as long as it doesn't catch on F****** FIRE) we hope.“

You have find China's aspirations of being the #1 worldwide EV maker, (and all EV batteries, solar, wind turbine etc) wanting US and European market share kind of amusing at this point. To help the West "Go Green" and save earth as they reject adhering to the Paris accords by adding coal power plants daily. They say they might comply by 2030 when the US/EU is an economic wasteland.

I'm afraid you will see China flood the low end EV market, $20,000 EV's
Just like E-bikes are every where now China will control the low end market
All the German EV's will gain strength and lead the high end
You see Ford is stuck with dealer obligations can't direct sell, but making EV sales exclusive dealership is interesting move.We have invented the world; WE see

100kw is about 134hp. So that claim is 134hp out of about one square yard of solar panel. You can file that one with the 100mpg carburetor and the perpetual motion machines that the oil companies are keeping from us.
Those youtube clickbaits are even more common and just as impossible as lithium jet travel.

I see Ford offers an electric ‘crate motor‘ if anybody wants to try their hand at an electric jetboat or v-drive.

It's just all the crates of batteries that are the show stoppers. The motors themselves are fantastic.
Once we get the mythical unobtainium batteries with the rarium cells that are always "just around the corner" and "being developed" everything will be rainbows and lollipops.

lets wait till the EU forces goods to carry their carbon footprint so consumers can decide.

yep a failed socialist experiment, wreacked havoc with untold sufferig to countries like Greece. Trashed Italy, they have stood still since the silly monetary mistake.
It was created to either:
a) loan money to everyone so they can buy a Mercedes
b) prevent the first country from declaring bankruptcy, France.Last edited by powerabout; 09-24-2022 at 02:54 AM.

Thats complete propaganda paid for by FLP, no Florida utility has fought so hard and spent so much in lobbying to kneecap residential solar & net metering than FPL. The Governor you probably hate just came to the rescue

If they are using lithium ion storage batteries, which a lot of places do, there WILL be fires. Period.
…lithium batteries at storage sites in Moss Landing have repeatedly caught fire in recent years. And last year, a Tesla Megapack caught fire in Geelong, Australia, during initial tests at the Victorian Big Batterystorage site.
There are always fires when you use lithium ion storage batteries. Lithium fires are white-hot … and toxic. As per this lithium fire still burning in CA a few days ago:
At the time this story was published, the facility was disconnected from the grid as firefighters worked to "stop the spread of the fire and provide a safe area for emergency response personnel." The fire shut down a section of Highway 1 and sparked a shelter-in-place advisory from the county's sheriff’s office. The office warned nearby residents of an "ongoing hazardous materials incident" at around 9:00 a.m., stating: "Please shut your windows and turn off your ventilation systems."
When asked about the scale of the fire, a spokesperson for the utility declined to share additional information.
===
The elephant in the room… While even lithium ion storage is too heavy for boats and airplanes, and is kinda sorta ok for cars as long as you are ok with either immense weight or short range, why do you need it for grid energy storage? Lead acid would be worlds cheaper and safer, although it would require more space. Despite my being a know it all about analyzing numbers, I honestly don’t know the answer here. Though I suspect it lies somewhere in the convoluted politics of the massive subsidies given to solar and wind providers.
