Re: Musk's Powerwall
Hmmm . . . It could be looked at in this way, but it would be a fairly tortured view. IMHO.

Re: Musk's Powerwall
"down the drain" - Not quite. As I'm connected to the grid (I realize off-grid folks have completely different considerations), the power generated by PV while I'm at work will flow backward through my meter. Essentially, the grid (someone else using power while I'm at work) is my "storage". I guess...

Re: Musk's Powerwall
This is what I can't quite understand. (Really! I'm not trying to "troll" here.) Do renewables really produce "excess" energy? I've been looking at PV systems for my home (in the Pacific NW of the USA). Even with the roof fully packed, it will only produce a fraction (20-25%-ish) of our total kWh us...

Re: Musk's Powerwall
Hmmmm. The 10kWh version is $3500. The 7kWh version is $3000. That still pencils out to $350 and $428 / kWh respectively, correct? True . . . the difference is only ~$167, but we're still a loooong way from $100 / kWh. The system has two versions at the moment, one for $3k and the other for $3,500. ...

Re: EEStor says something - but not too much
Hear, hear! It took me a couple of his (assuming "his") posts to figure out that responding would be tantamount to troll-feeding. I do (or did, anyway) have an interest in this saga, so have been following this thread. For the most part, though, I share GT's thoughtful sentiments below. I don't have...

Re: EEStor says something - but not too much
Agreed. The Eestor saga (scam?, whatever) seems to have the longevity to join list below (BLP, Rossi, etc.). I think theeestory had enough open discussion (between skeptics and true believers) to have vetted the technology (if it can be called that) and business practices of those involved. I wonder...

Re: EEStor says something - but not too much
I somewhat agree. The debate seems to be on how this thing will finally (?) unwind. Anyway, "the issue" I was referring to was on the demise of theeestory.ning.com, not on the viability of the eestor enterprise. From the list below, I'd say the one about the ships transporting power to Europe was th...

Re: EEStor says something - but not too much
Hi papapoe, Well, yes. I had a login at theeestory.com. I hardly think that qualifies me as peddling DW's fraud. I've been a follower of the story, but never a proponent of any of the stocks or principals. If you can present posts to the contrary, I'd be happy to respond. (I've only used the one ID,...

Re: EEStor says something - but not too much
Hmmm. "As I understand it" can mean almost anything. Do you have any source at all for this? (Email, post on other forum? Just conjecture?) As I understand it, the pumpers (few remaining) felt that it was no longer a positive pump site and gave an ultimatum, then left after not getting what they wan...

The point you continue to miss is that Iran has not attacked another country for 100 years Now that is so funny, I do not know what to say! ROTFL!!! What rock have you been living under? Must be real nice a cozy, as well as full of faeries dancing to and fro in order for you not to ever want to com...

I suspect that if the voters were actually allowed to vote AGAINST those "dealers" (congressional deal makers, don't you know) then the practice would stop. The way it works now is that the favor they by helps them at the polls but the disfavor they generate has no adverse effect. Full Option Votin...
