@TheSilentsPR@smatthewbreeden @MapleFiltered @kennedytcooper The issue with this mindset is it gets a lot of people thinking they can fight the laws of thermodynamics, they cannot.
"Modern electricity is such a scam look at my infeasible invention stolen from a guy in the 20th century"
Which is why you sit around circle jerking instead of actually doing anything.
@MapleFiltered @kennedytcooper It amazes me that you, and only you, mentioned the only currently practical form of mass energy storage.
Seriously, how many people forget you can't magically turn off heat conduction.
@kennedytcooper How will a molten salt reactor help store power?
Oh do you mean those giant glorified radiators that fail to match just pumping water back behind a dam?
@DannyGGWP Look at the bright side, you can use Tessa coils as overflow points. It would even be a good source of fried birds.
But with actual seriousness, the negative price thing is a real problem even ignoring grid damage as it means people get paid to waste power, often loudly.
@DannyGGWP I'm not saying *you* are trying to win votes. I'm saying the article seems to be about political strategy which is 90% winning votes. Generally, the best way for a major party to win votes is by appealing to nonpartisans who are often looking for responses to major news stories.
@DannyGGWP Wait wait wait, who the fuck drinks that much milk? Are they making cheese at home? Do all 14 members of their family drink a tall pint of milk every day? Genuine question on who the fuck buys that much milk?
@DannyGGWP From the way it's phrased, you are taking this in the most head in ass way possible. The phrasing seems like the article is referring to how Dems could attract more voters and you don't get voters by sticking your fingers in you ears and yelling "LIAR" repeatedly.
