That would appear to apply to YOUR posts. Not a sign of calculating the
magnitude of the issues.

No, YOU made a claim. YOU have to back it up. As I said, wishful thinking is
not enough. I'm very aware of several 'new tech' battery advances but they're
still miles away from being a panacea and many are still 'in development' and
may not even see the light of day in practice.

Obviously blurting out the first thoughts that come into your mind.

I've taken some positions here and defended them. All you've done is
post a load of crap.

I said "several new technologies appear to be good candidates for
eliminating" the charge/discharge problem so apparently you are in
agreement with me. In development. May not see the light of day.

You seem to have got that the wrong way round.
Are you even any kind of engineer ? I'm an Electronics Consultant who's had an
interest in alternative energy since I was in my late teens / early 20s and seen
bugger all happen. It's mainly 'froth' to rob investors of their money.

Woo, an 'electronics consultant'. I haven't seen anything from your posts
so far that tells me you know much about the subjects under discussion. And
yes I am a kind of engineer. Wind and solar energy is already competitive in
the US when sited appropriately. Certainly it is economical in times of
$40/barrel oil which will surely be returning.

Then you can't know much except what you get from the Readers' Digest.

What kind ?

A straight lie. Only subsidies ( i.e. higher taxes ) make them feasible.
