This is how crazy Tesla Energy's battery storage deployment growth was in Q2 2024. Up 157% YoY, and up 132% QoQ📈🔋

This suggests Tesla's Lathrop Megapack factory is almost nearing full operational capacity, which is 40 GWh per year. Tesla's new Megapack factory, currently under construction in Shanghai, is also designed to have a 40 GWh annual capacity. This new factory is expected to start production in the first or second quarter of 2025.

Tesla Energy is just getting started.

Exciting opportunity to lead the Megapack sales team in EMEA ...

Wind & solar were the EU's top power source in 2022

They generated more than coal, more than gas & more than nuclear - for the first time ever

This is an amazing table of the cost overruns of mega projects

Nuclear storage has a mean cost overrun of 238%, while with nuclear power its 120%

Solar power has a mean cost overrun of 1%

40 Megapack units balance the grid in Lessines, Belgium—making it the biggest operational energy storage system in continental Europe

Hugely disappointing decision …

"The cost of generating power from tidal streams has fallen by 40% since 2018 – and last month a govt-backed research centre forecast prices could fall below #nuclear energy in little over a decade"

Notice that's before any power from proposed Sizewell C

Area in the UK taken up by:
Golf courses = 1,256 km2

and

Solar farms = 230 km2

But those Golf courses are a critical part of our financial infrastructure!

What have those damn solar farms ever done for us?
