Quite surprised never to have heard of this before, especially
(AFAICS) in this ng.

Thoughts? Shall I go and buy a PowerWall then?!

If everybody starts storing electricity at a cheaper night rate, the
night rate won't stay cheap for long. However, it might provide a
useful standby supply when we start to run out of power because we
haven't been building nukes fast enough.


Now, if only somebody can come up with a domestic-sized nuclear power
generator, they might be on to something! What do they use for those
long-range satellites, like Voyager?
