     @bajax @vii @shodansafari I don't know about that, I passed out after my blood pressure dropped to 0/0 due to the sheer size of the erection from hearing we could replace ethanol corn with solar panels

     Technology Connections gets so stupid retarded when it comes to these things, it actually makes me mad.
     
     "Oh, a battery can be refilled many times!" so can a fuel tank, jackass. And unlike a battery, a fuel tank doesn't need to be replaced in 20 years.
     
     I figured that to store enough energy to convert the US to renewables you'd need about 3 days storage, minimum. To do that, you'd need to create thousands of warehouses filled with batteries, several times more lithium ion batteries than mankind has produced to date, and a several year monopoly on humankind's entire lithium generation capacity (and they need to be replaced). Meanwhile, several times that amount of energy is kept in the US strategic petroleum reserve in a really cool cave someone found. When people point to battery plants, it's like saying you bought a pack of AA batteries "so we don't need to plug the tesla in". It's so trivial it doesn't even count.
     
     "Oh, the sun is free and I'm cheap!" the sun was free back when the pants that died and became oil were growing too, jackass. It isn't free for us to use. Just ask the people in Australia and California.
     
     "Don't worry, I'm not saying you have to give up your oil and gas powered things" no, you're just going to condescendingly act like you found a perpetual motion machine because your pocket calculator never needs a battery, and that we're the idiots for not realizing your brilliance. Jackass.
     
     Jeez. You'd think a guy from Chicago would know better, if only for the long dark cold nights. Maybe he should try practicing what he preaches, and he can be a broke, frozen, dead jackass with a bunch of expensive magic environmentalism boxes on the roof of his house that just got a natural gas furnace installed after the new owners fix all the frozen pipes that burst.
