it seems that panasonic make the batteries for tesla - and this is what they say about the man called elon musk
at Panasonic Eco Solutions. “Most of the projects currently going on are either demo projects or learni“We are at the very beginning in energy storage in general,” says Phil Hermann, chief energy engineerng experiences for the utilities. There is very little direct commercial stuff going on.

so many idiots waxing lyrical at what is nothing more than a pr stunt
Australian media should be reporting that a 100-megawatt-hour battery provides you 100 megawatts for one hour, then it’s empty. You can’t recharge it if the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining. 100 MW isn’t going to achieve much given SA typically requires 2,895 MW on a peak day in Summer.
and obviously us plebs (well, the plebs with no brains) are influenced by the idiots (more idiots with no brains) on tv, who proclaim this is a wonderful idea. sadly, way too many people (including left wing pollies) who have nothing more than peanuts for brains
