  • Dan Rastler - We Need Cheap Energy Storage [View article]
    William,
    I most certainly am familiar with Beacon and they are a fine firm. This article was not intended as an extensive exploration of every available storage technology. That said, Beacon's flywheels are expensive and suitable more for frequency regulation and very short power drop-offs - not as bulk storage which is what the thrust of this article was about.
    Thanks for reading and for your comment.

    Windsun, Mr. Pluvia,
    I throw myself upon your mercy for the careless mistakes made in this piece. Of course I know that inverters convert from DC-AC.

  • Black Swans and Greenwashing Solar and Wind [View article]
    Hi,
    I am author of the article and of course I know who Vinod Khosla is. Next time I'll use emoticons for the humor impaired.
