Aluminium Energy Storage

Looks like the cost of the Aluminium energy store is getting is about 10-20 pence a kilowatthour. Which is a bit more than we're used to paying for winter heating with natural gas.

Mind you, you might get about the same overall cost for heating throughout the year as you'd be using direct solar PV & a heat pump for quite a lot of heating and hot water throughout the year.

I think rather than using individual unit per house this might work better / cheaper as part of a district heating scheme or in block of flats or an office.

Love the video about performance v trust. Ties in with things like the No Asshole Rule and so on - unfortunately all too often being the asshole and good at bullshitting seems to get rewarded with promotions.

Justice League: Whedon v Snyder

I am inclined to leave it alone. I've seen Whedon's movie. Flawed as it was, more flaws revealed after the release, too, by some of the other people who worked on it...I'm done.

Keep the story moving, but move on from both Whedon and Snyder. Please.
