@Hypx@fedia.io The PICEA system is interesting. At ~$100/kWh that would still cost me ~$50000 to get my home through the Ontario winter. Costs still need to come down at least one order of magnitude.
@Hypx@fedia.io My dataset shows that in Ontario the household annual kWh is 5x higher. In addition the seasonal storage requirement is 4.6MWh which makes economics difficult even with H2.
@Hypx@fedia.io Mazda already has a serial hydrid vehicle that is a great starting point. Problem is that they refuse to bring it to my Ontario market.
1·8 months ago@Emil Great idea. I guess I would ask what is the holdup to build one? Why spend 4 years on a feasibility study in the midst of a climate emergency that these reactors could help address?
@Emil Alas a patent doesn’t mean a product soon. I hope Moltex succeeds in a short time. This technology is very needed.
@Hypx@fedia.io Also it is easy to add a fuel tender to a train, much as they did back in the coal stream days.
