LA Times on utility-scale solar storage

[Sunking]

Would you be satisfied if the forum relegated all such talk to a subforum called 'Angry Political Rants'?

Already have it called General Topics where anything goes.

JPM with all due respect my issue is the government mandates on public utilities and artificially inflating electric rates. California mandating utilities to build huge battery banks is a good example.

Which issues seem to me to deal more with energy policy - not energy, and so, not to your preference. that is, if I correctly understand your prior statement: "I for one prefer to keep the forum more purely technical."

I think a subforum dealing with political rants would be a good filter. Then, I could talk about my real passion in life: The influence Swedish meatballs had on the Bolshevik revolution.

I believe those meatballs caused heartburn.

I just read an article in the renewablesbiz where SunEdison is purchasing 1000 vanadium battery systems from Imergy Power Systems that equals about 100 megawatt hours of storage to be used in rural India.

I wonder what those cost?
