In other words, if we count on electric cars to store the surplus of renewable electricity, their batteries would need to be 60 times larger 03:55 < streety> http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2017/09/how-to-run-modern-society-on-solar-and-wind-powe.html 04:22 < Jenda> that estimate is wrong 04:22 < Jenda> you can just flood the entire Bohemia and create a dam that is really sufficient 04:28 < Jenda> ~20000 km^2 at average depth 100 meters (probably more) → 2000 km^3 of water at 100m height (probably more) → (2000e12*10*100)/3.6e3 = at least 550 TWh 04:34 -!- aeiousomething [~aeiousome@unaffiliated/aeiousomething] has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds] 04:43 < streety> It was more the car battery aspect I was interested in. 04:43 < streety> I'm not sure if displacing so many people would be the most reasonable approach though 04:55 -!- Douhet [~Douhet@unaffiliated/douhet] has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds] 05:03 < Jenda> my proposal was not really serious :) 05:04 -!- jqtrde [~jqtrde@142-254-106-160.dsl.dynamic.fusionbroadband.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds] 05:04 -!- CandleGlow [~CandleGlo@unaffiliated/candleglow] has quit [Quit: ...and all my responses they stay the same.] 05:05 -!- Cosmofile [~cosmophil@207.189.2.228] has joined ##hplusroadmap 05:08 -!- Cosmophyle [~cosmophil@cpe-71-70-215-113.nc.res.rr.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds] 05:09 < TMA> streety: it does not really matter, after all, they are foreigners for the majority of europeans. -- and foreigners are not people 05:11 < TMA> streety: also there are only 10 million all told, some would not be displaced, so that's not even worth mentioning 05:12 < streety> the count I got from wikipedia was 6.5 million. I don't know how that overlaps with the topography of the area there 05:12 < streety> still seems like there would be major issues 05:13 < streety> The argument for needing 400 TWh of storage was also somewhat of a strawman 05:13 < streety> it wouldn't be the most sensible approach even if there were no issues with using the land for pumped hydropower storage 05:14 < streety> actually the conclusion for the series of articles seemed to be we should just produce less and make do with shortages 05:15 < streety> Not sure many would be happy with that 05:15 < streety> perhaps the conclusion we should take is that we need more nuclear 05:15 < TMA> that's even less than the headcount reduction during the WWII 05:17 < TMA> streety: both I and Jenda would be displaced, because we live here :) 05:20 < TMA> well the best course of action would be just doing it. it is easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission 05:20 < streety> I had not realized you were both from the area. 05:22 < TMA> there would be bigger problem with the foreign corporations owning assets here than with the people 05:23 < streety> I'm not sure 'just doing it' would be easy. It wouldn't be quick and I'm sure there would be much resistance across Europe. As an Englishman living in the US I'm not sure how much say I would have but would definitely be against it 05:23 < TMA> streety: you are saying that now, because the propaganda campaign has not yet started 05:25 < streety> I'm not sure propaganda would be sufficient.
