The French owners of the world’s biggest battery are being sued for simply failing to deliver the goods. When Elon Musk’s 150MW battery was hooked up to the South Australian grid, the wind and solar cult rejoiced. The meme had it that - with a few thousand more just like it, we’d soon all … Continue reading World’s Biggest Renewable Energy Battery Becomes World’s Biggest Joke

Tesla Terror: Lithium Battery ‘Bombs’ Exploding In Toxic Fireballs That Burn For Days
Giant batteries are said to be the Planet’s saviour, but be sure you’re well clear when they explode into toxic fireballs that firefighters can’t extinguish. On the large-scale, it’s the kind of terrifying Tesla moment experienced by locals in Victoria when one of these lithium-ion wonders went up in flames and literally burned for days, … Continue reading Tesla Terror: Lithium Battery ‘Bombs’ Exploding In Toxic Fireballs That Burn For Days
Impossible Dream: Why Energy Storage Systems Can’t Solve Wind & Solar’s Intermittency
Renewable energy storage is literally setting the world on fire. When giant lithium-ion batteries aren’t exploding in toxic balls of flame, their limited capacity means that they add a trivial occasional trickle of electricity to the grid; and do so at an astronomical cost. The wind and solar acolyte would have us believe that if … Continue reading Impossible Dream: Why Energy Storage Systems Can’t Solve Wind & Solar’s Intermittency
Wind & Solar Storage ‘Fires Up’: Giant Battery Burns For Days After Terrifying Explosion
Giant lithium-ion batteries have an alarming habit of exploding and, when they do, literally burning for days. Following up on our recent post concerning just such a case - where a Tesla mega-battery exploded in a toxic fireball in southwest Victoria - here’s a couple from the team at Jo Nova and Watts Up With … Continue reading Wind & Solar Storage ‘Fires Up’: Giant Battery Burns For Days After Terrifying Explosion
Battery ‘Bombs’: More Giant Renewable Energy Batteries Explode in Toxic Fireballs
‘Bombs’ are designed to store and quickly release copious amounts of energy, so are the mega-batteries said to save wind and solar from their hopeless intermittency. The notion is that giant lithium-ion batteries will quell the power delivery chaos that comes with attempting to rely on wholly weather-dependent wind power and wholly sunshine-dependent solar power; … Continue reading Battery ‘Bombs’: More Giant Renewable Energy Batteries Explode in Toxic Fireballs
