Learning that people have estimated the cost of a canadian supergrid connection at 40 billion and thats so staggeringly cheap it makes me lose my mind

China baut kein einzelnes Energiesystem, sondern ein koordiniertes Gesamtsystem aus:
- Erzeugung (Solar/Wind)
- Speicherung (Batterien)
- Transport (Supergrid)
- Industrieproduktion (Batteriefabriken)
Und Deutschland hat Gas-Kathi und Söder, der Stromtrassen ausbremst.

Many in the US would like to see a supergrid connect the entire nation so excess solar power in California in the afternoon could run subways and light up bodegas in Manhattan in the evening. It’s a lovely dream that faces many challenges.

We finally smashed a ten year old snag on some interface engineering impacting one of the nation’s most vital transmission circuits. After all testing was complete, I took the team of heroes for a beer by the Trent, overlooking the birthplace of our supergrid 😍🍺

Inside an urban supergrid transformer noise enclosure. Feel the buzz! Feel the roar. It hums! Not because it needs a bath, Ferranti’s are known to shake, rattle n roll a bit. This one owes us nothing tho

Plus what's the point of waving a few billion around when £90 billion is already scheduled to spent across the Supergrid and yy the distribution networks in the next 5-6 years anyway 🤷

40 metres (248 steps) under our capital are arterial cable tunnels carrying the Supergrid MIS circuits around and through London. I’ve spent much of the last 15 years building them, commissioning them, maintaining them, and showing the odd party of politicians around 💁🏻♂️😘

Kudos to all who strived to make this a decent bill. Hard reality: we won’t get a supergrid anytime soon and we must get far more utilization out of what we have & can build in absence of sweeping reforms.
