Combine it with the gravity store towers by stacking up shipping containers of batteries. You now have a built-in way to extract and replace malfunctioning containers.

Probably need to find smooth shipping routes that won't shake the batteries to dust. -- rec -- On Mon, Mar 21, 2022 at 2:19 PM Marcus Daniels <[email protected]> wrote: > It seems to me this is a better way to use excess power. > > > > > https://www.montereyherald.com/2021/08/19/worlds-largest-energy-storage-system-completes-phase-ii-in-moss-landing/ > > > > *From:* Friam <[email protected]> *On Behalf Of *Roger Critchlow > *Sent:* Monday, March 21, 2022 11:01 AM > *To:* The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group < > [email protected]> > *Subject:* Re: [FRIAM] speculative marketing > > > > I read the cryptosplaination in the NYTimes this weekend, and it almost > made sense, then this. > > > > Isn't there something thermodynamically fishy about a scheme that so > directly converts capital into ROI? > > > > Bits, and electricity in; bits, waste heat, and profit out; it's almost > as if someone made up a parody of economic activity. > > > > And then it gets hot, and the shipping containers start to roar like a > parking lot full of helicopters revving for take off.
