2 days agoClearly, storing steam in tanks for demand surges is the most efficient form of energy storage (as in Factorio)
Yeah, that’s probably true. I was mainly being silly and making a factorio reference. On the other hand, with the intermittent/cyclical nature of renewable energy, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to look into ways to store it for times when demand outstrips supply. Maybe there’s something I’m missing? I’m not an expert in energy grids or anything.
