Honestly - a few of the replies to this little tribute to engineering excellence exhibit a level of stupidity that suggests to me that it won’t be long before our spacecraft are the only thing that remains of our increasingly dim-witted civilisation. Until recently my guess has been that the answer to the Fermi Paradox might be found in biology - complex biological systems are rare. I’m increasingly of the view that the reason for The Great Silence is that civilisations are inevitably crushed by the weight of nobheads shortly after inventing the internet.
A day full of emotions. Thank you all for this incredible farewell. It has been an exciting four years in which we have touched glory by winning a Champions League, but where we have also gone through difficult times. (1/4)
BREAKING: @Tesla has secured a new ~$650 million contract to build the largest battery energy storage system in Australia, over twice the size of the storage system pictured below.
It will mean the Neoen Collie battery will be sized at a total 560 MW & 2,240 MWh.
This $650M contract means French developer Neoen will add a 341 MW/1363 MWh second stage battery to the Collie facility. Its first stage, already under construction, is sized at 219 MW/877 MWh. Both are to be built with a total of ~572 Tesla Megapack batteries, making it a massive ~$1.1 billion project.
When complete, the Collie battery will have the ability to charge and discharge 20% of the average demand in Western Australia's main grid.
