Fizzy > More importantly, this would finally open up all the parked cars in the country to being part of a distributed power storage system!


As I said before, if it works a hundred year battery
would make electric cars feasible.

But, using parked cars as part of a 'distributed storage
system' - is a BAD idea. Think about it, you thought
your car spent all night charging up during 'off peak'
hours . . . But something happened during the night and
the power company needed a LOT more watts, so they
drained the watts out of your and everybody elses
cars to meet demand . . . and now you don't have enough
juice in your car to go to work.

A battery that can charge and power and re-charge and
power over and over for a hundred years might be the
dream for storing 'renewable' watts when ya got them,
to be used when needed . . . But requiring those
batteries to 'serve two masters' (driving and power
storage and retrieval) is a recipe for disaster.

But you can bequeath it! Think of the smiling face on the lucky child or grandchild!

More importantly, this would finally open up all the parked cars in the country to being part of a distributed power storage system! In other words, you park your car where it can get solar charged and, at night, or as needed by others, you sell some of your excess battery power.

The MAIN problem with renewable electric power is thus addressed! Finally we might well have a chance of a future where reasonable power is still available without fossil fuels (which will no longer be EROEI available).

That isn't currently sensible because the current generation of batteries starts degrading with every charge-discharge cycle. Remember I told you about the search for a "million mile battery"?? This, at 100 years, is WAY more than that! Variable power generation w/ no good method of storage, is the biggest impediment to an all electric future.

They pull this off and EVERYTHING changes. It would rank up there with practical fusion as a dream come true. Musk would likely go down in history as the most beneficent human to have ever lived...who saved humanity from a very dark future. It is a brilliant target and vastly more likely to pan out than something like fusion (too late and too expensive).
