LeftistMuslimObama posted:They announced with quite a bit of fanfare that we are 100% off grid. They have 100 acres of solar panels and 45 windmills (it's super windy here). I know they have a storage facility underground somewhere on campus, but I don't know where or what method they use. Our campus is 900 acres and 85% empty so I haven't exactly gone exploring for a big pit full of batteries. I can pretty much guarantee you're not actually "off the grid" in the sense that you are actually isolated from it. That would just be stupid, since no setup ever generates exactly as much energy it needs, even with good energy storage means. I'm certain they mean that the net power you draw from the grid is zero, or negative. That's great, but you're not "off the grid." There is literally no good reason to be "off the grid," so that's fine.
