If the cost of photovoltaics has fallen, it is only because China is cranking them out at breakneck speed, but photovoltaics are extremely pollutive to create, have a limited lifespan, and are not in any way meaningfully recyclable once they reach the end of their useful lifespans.

And lithium batteries are definitely not sustainable. Prussian Blue doped sodium-ion batteries are a lot better for larger scales of storage, but they are not really quite ready for prime time, yet.

If I appear at times to some to be opposed to so-called #renewable #power (which isn't "renewable" in any meaningful sense of the word; it relies entirely on non-renewable resources), it is because I fully understand how this #technology works, and in no way is it an equal replacement for fossil fuel power generation, for a variety of hard scientific factual and practical reasons. Our first and final approach must be #conservation, not #consumption.

https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/weaselswriting/ - yesterday and today, I've spent my time laboriously converting all of my writing that I did for Cohost, into HTML that I can host on my own webspace.
