Technology

I want a battery in my house big enough for me to lose power for 2 days and still cook with electric stove and have hot water from water heater.

That is my dream for every house. To be able to have a stable power well from some kind of battery fed by a solar + grid sharing. To be able to offer extra power to a neighbor if they need it for a project or a party or help however.

I don't want to be energy isolated from the grid. I want to be energy insulated and be of the grid.

I know it's basically a physical impossibility but here hoping to another 89% in the next 10 years (compared to today)

I wish hydroelectricity was there.

What happened to Nuclear option?

Are the renewables including cost of storage in this graphic? Batteries are a lot more needed with wind and solar since they aren't always available.

Also, I'd imagine nuclear would enjoy a similar level of success if there were more countries willing to invest in nuclear.

Price of onshore wind is about as low as solar.

I'd like to add wind to my solar eventually. Multi-modal makes a lot of sense to me. Pretty sure my solar installers don't do that and I have no idea who does do that...if anyone. I'll investigate someday.

Where's hydro? Because it would be a straight line at the bottom...

It's wild to me that 19% difference between the drop of on shore wind and solar to the same price point is massive, like that extra 19% drop in solar is quite literally more than half of the solar previous cost, about $230.
