Powered by the people. Treadmill electricity.

Wonderful stuff, you can make coffee with it, for free.

But getting rid of all the electricity billers would be much better.

The bingbot tells me:

“The deployment of community batteries, such as those in the Ausgrid network, aims to enable the storage of distributed renewable energy, reduce distribution network constraints, and lower household electricity costs. These batteries are expected to be co-located at Ausgrid substations, pole-mounted on distribution poles, and located at public parks adjacent to distribution poles. The project is part of a broader initiative to enhance grid stability and enable community access to battery storage through the customer storage product.”

So there is still a place for the giants to hold the batteries.

Putting big batteries on poles seems crazy to me, but what would I know.

Better than walking/riding into them.

Anyway, he looks happy enough.

That’s an idea. Chained to a battery while you wait for it to inevitably catch fire.

The law courts have free power.
