Disliked{quote} i lved in alaska for a year a long time ago people there had electric heaters for battery engine block and transmission they also had an issue called square tires the tires would deflate and freeze on the flat part where the weight was if they didn't thaw out before driving, they would shatter you are probably better off taking uber or a cab it's not worth the repairs if it's coldIgnored

Disliked{quote} it is fascinating how it played out from gators and my post3 days ago… they said on radio a couple of hours ago spot price on electricity will go up 400% over the weekend. Wonder if any broker offer leveraged contracts on that lol.. proably in 2-3 days the cold from sweden will be less, but cover whole europe instead and start spreadimg through central USA. I see the natural gas prices are going up. yeah the tires can be a problem.. we usually don’t need electric heaters and see that as a luxury. Cars a bit better designed for cold as they...Ignored

Disliked{quote} It’s pitch black outside. We get like 5 hour of sun. The wind is standing still now that the high pressure area developed, so it drives prices up cause we got alot of windmills, and shut down 1 nuclear powerplant. The outage is a good point, since thousands of people was recently without electricity. I got a friend who sells solar power, i think he also sells some batteries with them. He sells them easily, but we calculated to get back the investment it would take like 20 years due to their high pricing. I believe in geothermal energy more,...Ignored
Disliked{quote} LMAO. I wrote a while back about some kid somewhere inventing a cheap battery. One with no need for rare earth minerals. The common digital watch and silica. Well i bet some brainiac can do it.. When those cheap watches first appeared 50 years back. They cost many hundreds of dollars. For a very short time they were a status symbol. Later you could buy one for 1$ Anaway the energy stored at normal prices. And used during the 4X increase times.Ignored
Disliked{quote} yeah i mean its simplicity is genius, there is sand everywhere and usually the sun. So basically you could set up a moon-base and store energy without having to transport too much material there, just need a container. Specific heat capacity of sand is like 1, while water has 4, so water is ideal. Problem is that water boils away at 100 celsius. Sand doesn’t boil away, it can be heated to 800 degree or more. So that compensates for the lower heat capacity. Also isolating material can help maintain energy. So basically all the energy you...Ignored
Disliked{quote} I take your never researched it before either. Well in my world labor depending on the industry is less than 5% the cost in heavy industrial manufacturing (cars being. a more finished retail product about 15% or less) . That leaves about 50%+ (very conservative) for energy. The remainder transportation/raw materials. But you seem to know better than people. Who actually worked in industrial industries. Just a fact. Turn off the lights, where are the people?Ignored

Disliked{quote} What's that have to do with you being wrong, about energy? You think this last post absolves you. From not knowing what you spoke of? Maybe in your own mind you some sort of genius. But your not smart enough to see your shortcomings. I assume your a young guy, who has it all figured out. Any way, I dont have time for you to grow up. You have not offered anything to contribute here. So go piss in someone else's pool while you can. I dont care what you do. But you will need to find another place to do it.Ignored
