Hmm, what does that remind me of...

" They are in use, very small scale now, huge growth is expected as battery tech is dropping in price continuously large percentage every year."
They are not in production yet and they are not improving or dropping in costs at that great of a rate.
Battery/Storage technology has been the problem for around the last 50 years. The limits on them are based on chemistry.
The real issue with batteries replacing peaking plants is a real simple one. A peaking plant can provide peaking for as long as you have fuel. Using Solar or Wind a storm can cause a "peaking" issue lasting days not hours and batteries are practical for those kinds of peaks.
Not to mention that if you are really interesting in reducing CO2 it really is not the peaking plants you want to replace but the coal fired baseload plants.
If you have a cheap enough source of power you could use that power to create methanol or NH4 for storage and use that for fuel cells. The energy density would be much higher than you can get from batteries and pipelines are more efficient than power lines for transporting energy. The problem is that the conversion is less efficient than a battery.

After dealing with decades of battery tech promises it is hard to not sneer at any "replace x with batteries" comment.

Maybe people will actually keep private things private?...
Naw...
It is amazing the differences I see see between my friends in their 30s and up vs some of the young people I know.
A friend of mine got divorced and I know she got divorced and I know she is sad. I do not know the exact details of why. She is someone I know but was not really close to. Her close friends have all the details but they are not posting them online.

The 20 somethings that I know post everything public. I know that one broke up because of cheating and I know who they cheated with and when. I know when another one is super drunk and hates everyone... ... And they say young people "understand" social media and older people don't...

This "timeline" is the ultimate privacy nightmare and will be a blight on all those that suffer it.

"Show me six lines written by the most honest man in the world, and I will find enough therein to hang him"

If you thought your employer seeing your Facebook was bad, that was a little taste compared to what they'd do with this.

" Seriously, prove them wrong "
And you are a Russian spy that is under deep cover planing the overthrow the US government and enslave all of us.
Seriously prove me wrong...

See the problem. You can not in any way prove me wrong but the idea is very crazy. If you want change Russian for space alien to push it a little farther into crazy.

When you take a violent action and justify with sci-fi movie you are will into the crazy range.

Exactly what is the cost of all the engineering fails after the Tsunami? I suggest starting with the sea wall.

Yeah another win for Coal, Fracked gas, and Climate change.

Shills?
Get a grip Google Sigint, Comint, and reconnaissance aircraft. Yes everyone that is literate knows this.

Really? I felt that Starship Troopers was very close to the book. Which was also terrible.

So you are saying that I am correct.
"It is probably not possible because of laws and regulations which is too bad since it would be more like real venture capital."

Will gather intelligence to the best of it's ability.

Why is this so shocking?

Here you go

That's actually why the movie was done as a parody. Trying to play the book straight would result in something that looks an awful lot like a fascist propaganda film.

I'd guess he was captured by a bigfoot to work on their hidden communication infrastructure that helps them avoid groups of credible humans.

I would not say it is trivial. Only someone that has never worked on software that must be very reliable would call it trivial.
workable yes.

A fool thinks everything they do not know how to do is trivial.

So would the savings be as great if they just ran the line?
