  1. @S1Rossco  i could run my House for around 2- 3 days on an EV battery if I had one. The point of this is we have the tech to mesh network EV batteries into the grid, this both flattens and fattens the duck curve as well as providing Grid Resilience

  2. Renewable energy input is free and inflation proof once you've built the infrastructure Fossil based generation is subject to inflation, transportation costs and extraction costs. In 10 years Wind will still be Free

  3. @S1Rossco  Even if you weren't moving to renewable energy you'd still implement battery storage at grid nodes it saves 30% on costs whatever your source Estimates for turbine life are 25 years for both on and offshore costs. Last I looked onshore was the cheapest on the grid at 38, dogger has a contract price of 42 in comparison Hinkley C is already at 110 (if it ever comes online) The latest estimates for Offshore have seen a 2% drop in real term infrastructure costs but this is offset by inflation and interest rate rises the private sector are wanting around 52 as a forward contract price.
