    Lol

    I just love when large organizations (governments included) skimp on something for monetary reasons, and get fucked down the line.

    Too bad citizens pay the damages.

      Batteries are more than likely another type of pollution. I’m sure they can and will be recycled but just like the problem with our current capacity to recycle things it probably becomes untenable (guessing).

      The state just needs to find ways to convert that energy into something else. I suggest desalinating sea water and pumping it up stream.

        You can’t just say battery. There’s tons of energy storage that isn’t chemical based. Thermal sand batteries, pumping hydro up a hill, flywheel energy storage, etc.

        Energy storage doesn’t inherently mean pollution

          Sure you can buy a compressor and some air tanks. I imagine the turbine you need to purchase might be midly expensive. The real issue I think would be the size of the pressure vessel you would need to make it worth it.

      Wish there was just a faster way to get citizen input.

      “Hey folks, this is going to be a cost overrun for this very very good reason, please vote yay or nay in the weekly election”.

      Don’t see how it could work now though, given that half the citizens are deeply committed to destroying everything to prove gov doesn’t work.
