Long live the Internet - the cause of, and solution to, all of our anxieties.

It's kinda fucked that the House of Commons has more than 200 more members for a country of 69 million than the House of Representatives has for a nation of 341 million

"that one was a deep cut for the real politics sickos out there" I chuckle to myself until:

a lucky shot.... while they were fighting back?

Using 4-hour batteries in sequence (concatenation) provides for longer duration storage. Building out a mix of renewables - wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal minimizes the necessary storage because they complement each other.
