This is the kind of setup I would like to have. I would use it to run my heat pump / air conditioner and maybe a few other things like the microwave oven. And it would be used for charging my EV when it’s at home. The two solar PV panels are 800 watts total.

This was developed by the University in Australia. It seems to be two or three separate parts. It takes solar electricity and converts it to hydrogen. The H2 is stored in metal hydride ?cartridges? Then the H2 is made into electricity by fuel cells. It says that it also has a 5 kWh lithium battery

This article gives an idea of how much a Tesla PowerWall will cost. This StorEn company has only a few employees. They are crowdfunding and have not yet sold a flow battery. They’re supposedly in the business of making vanadium redox flow batteries. https://cleantechnica.com/2020/10/05/tesla-megapack-powerpack-powerwall-battery-storage-prices/ https://www.startengine.com https://www.storen.com Update Feb 23 – TSLA was down to $632

I read a lot of criticisms from doom and gloom climate change deniers who say that the wind turbines and solar arrays are polluting the Earth and blah-blah-blah.

Q: “Is 100% solar wind and batteries (or storage) possible by 2030?” A: Not possible if left to the IOUs (investor owned utilities).

They say the problem is ‘range anxiety.’ The batteries can charge 100 miles in 5 minutes. This is one of Hashem’s videos. The references are in the pinned comment. https://www.facebook.com/693504594115135/posts/2330587737073471/?app=fbl
My replies to article cited by an “electrical engineer with 34 yrs experience”. https://returntonow.net/2021/02/09/the-spiraling-environmental-costs-of-lithium-batteries-could-rival-fossil-fuel/ << Ned Goldston Thanks for the link to the article. The article is written with false information (e.g. li-Ion batteries cannot be recycled), the reference used is at least 8 years out of date, and the most telling is the last

Bloom Energy (BE) expects to be profitable in 2021. This article gives insight into its plans and finances. https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/bloom-energy-sees-future-in-hydrogen-fuel-cells-electrolysis-and-carbon-capture
I’ve got them and Bloom Energy (BE) also. Cramer tells about the guy who founded Plug Power and believes in it even though it has been a struggle. But things are looking much better for Plug Power. https://realmoney.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/jim-cramer-here-s-what-successful-speculation-really-looks-like-15558258 I should have bought Ballard Power BLDP, it, like plug has gone up a lot.
The proposal is secret, but Indonesia is demanding development of more than just a nickel mine. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/indonesia-receives-investment-proposal-tesla-035233556.html
