Deteriorata posted:Sand can be made by crushing rocks sufficiently. Readily accessed, cheap sand may become scarce, but we're not going to run out. Sand is almost exclusively removed from beaches where they don't have laws against it yet Or in Cambodias case, they have laws against it but everyone is making so much money exporting sand to Singapore that they just ignore the laws Beach Sand used to be harvested in Monterey California for the longest time; they just only in the last year or two finally banned it Sand harvesting really fucks up ecosystems but it's also a necessary component of concrete

It would be interesting to see how much total capacity the batteries have and how deeply they're discharging each day. It's hard to tell if they're only discharging 20%, 50% or 90+%

It looks like Moss Landing is using LG "lithium-ion battery energy storage system" and phase 2 uses LG "utility-grade lithium-ion batteries" which, I'm guessing, are very similar to laptop batteries and what Tesla is using in their power packs

I mean, the moss landing facility just opened last fall. LG and Tesla have huge capacity to build automotive grade cells for very cheap, it seems like lithium ion will continue to be in the mix for some years to come, especially if the slump in EV sales continues
