It's happening already....
We are winning the war on energy.
Under my plan electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.
Barack Obama
Maybe Europe has more energy than it knows what to do with, e.g. wind, rather than we are low on gas.
Nah.
Biomess is on tick over with OCGT and Coal shown as zero, if electricity was that short prices would skyrocket and it would be worth firing them up.
Explain.
Explain.
ROFL! "More energy than it knows what to do with" has not happened since the shenanigans with Russia.
They have. We have them artificially capped by government subsidies, and they've still doubled.
Are you sure there's much biomass to fire up? The dial shows only a couple of GW to spare. And I was under the impression we'd shut down most of the coal stations or converted them to gas.
There is no obvious way to store even one full day's use of electrical energy.
You can buy a battery which will power your home for a week.
I will shortly be buying some lead acid leisure batteries, they're very good at storing a lot of energy cheaply, several times cheaper than lithium crap.
A Powerwall costs about $11K and is claimed to power a typical house for 1.5 days. Between fires.
Grid-scale storage would have to power industry and transport too, and cooking and cooling and heating for all-electric homes after NG is banned.
Our democrat party has all said we must suffer through these pains as we are crucified on the green cross.
Neat! I don't mean the data, just the presentation. At a concert in a very intimate venue I stood leaning on the sound guy's cabinet. There was a fantastic digital presentation of a traditional mixer and the other boards right down to shadowing on the toggle switches.
Skeuomorphism isn't dead.
ROFL! Like this bus?
We have that. Reversible hydro electric dams, huge batteries like in California.
What is NG?

I fail to see why people vote for left wing clowns.

Ah, I also read it as "(cooking and cooling and heating for all-electric homes after NG) is banned." which would mean after NG, we are not allowed to cook cool or heat. I think brackets ought to be used more in sentences.
Since when could gas cool something anyway?
And we could be storing hydrogen created with electrolysis when there's too much electricity. This could then simply burn in a power station. For example an offshore windfarm with an electrolysis station and a power station to burn the hydrogen, both where the wire comes ashore.
That is in California. Where almost everything causes cancer. Now natural gas does something bad. They have starting banning all gasoline powered lawn equipment like mowers and weed eaters.
There are some campers that the refrigerator is cooled by propane.
Broadly speaking, two ways:
a: using it to directly power a compressor the same way it can run a car or generator
and
b: through that whole "ammonia cycle" deal which, while I've seen it in operation, makes my head hurt.
