Discussions
- Furthermore, most of the increase in electricity demand is due to cooling, whose temporal pattern matches perfectly with solar generation. So, yeah, the future is solar! We made similar arguments in [bsky, 18 points, 1 comments]
- Thanks Christoph! Yeah, that might work, but would be harder to read the costs then. @martavictoria.bsky.social had a version with the ratio of winter over summer versus population in her paper doi.or [bsky, 4 points, 0 comments]
