#2b "Cornwall is the place for inspiration ..a farm of Red T Energy with solar panels "
"new storage solution" "doesn't ever degrade" "don't call them batteries"
they never said how this magic thing works
web says "The redT energy storage machine is based on vanadium redox flow-lithium systems"

PDF report says "losses of 21% in the worse case operating scenario, for a minimum voltage of 42 V and a current of 112 A [14]. Internal losses of the VRB account for 15%, in which the reaction loss Preaction is 9% and the resistive loss Presistive is 6%. "

BBC Countryfile agenda
#1 Item Ponce Charles saving a stately home in Argyleshire
#2 "Electric cars are set to be banned" (not they aren't)
..wow they having Lancs fracking firm (Egdon) saying they can fill the stop gap
#2a they bring on Heriot-Watt Uni .."Catch Chief Scientist, Prof. John Underhill, on @BBCCountryfile tonight (1815) as he examines how geology will impact future energy resource" to say "oh the UK is titlted so fracking may not be economic"
#2b later they are having a renewable guy to say that's the magic solution.

This letter appeared in our local paper this week - containing a fine selection of warmist clichés . Why is it that warmist greens will not allow anyone else to have a different opinion to theirs without accusing them of lying?
Don't let the deniers get away with liesThe fact that we may have a few extra years to make the transition to a decarbioised world is good news, but no cause for complacency.
The annual rate of increase in greenhouse gases seems to have slowed but vast amounts are still emitted each year.
The disastrous effects of the current degree of warming are visible on any news broadcast, and the more warming there is the worse this will become.
After the Paris agreement of 2015, some commentators argued that it is too late to limit the increase to the target of 1.5 degrees.
Recent data suggests that this is not so - it can realistically be done.
But it requires that annual reduction in carbon emissions need to start now- and reach zero within 40 years.
This is going to be hard but it is still achievable given united and determined action by all of us.
I can remember the pessimists saying that China's coal emissions would defeat us and we should give up but the Chinese are now reducing its [sic] coal burning.
Perhaps the biggest challenger to the Paris agreement- which after ratification entered into force last November- is Donald Trump's behaviour.
The last thing we need now is to allow the climate change deniers to get away with their lies.[my emphasis]
We need a determined push to convert to renewable energy sources and use energy far more carefully.
A good start would be the removal of the vast state subsidies to the oil and gas industries.
Choices made now will determine the future world for our children and grandchildren. We owe it to them.

I don't expect that those who sold out to CO2 based Climate Science or weather forecasting, are very keen for Judith Curry to have any share of their taxpayer funding.
If taxpayer funding for CO2 biased Climate Scientists should suffer a bit of a blow, or Unprecedented drought, or decade of rainy days, they will have to think of a different idea, which will be a first in Climate Science.

The BBC pidgin team haven't found the "bird crapped on my car" video yet then?
BBC pidgin is the gift that keeps giving - maybe they've even reported on the football lads demo that Bish has a piece on ?

David Whitehouse vs Judith Curry interview has a lot of self promotion and advertising for her weather forecasting company but heh-ho.

"The main disadvantages with vanadium redox technology are a relatively poor energy-to-volume ratio in comparison with standard storage batteries"
ie it's a wacking great box that stores little energy
so cost compared to Lead Acid car battery will be expensive
@GC that Mail article said
"The company has created a pioneering method of storing energy, using large storage facilities that are long-lasting, effective and could transform the way energy is distributed to homes and businesses."
No it is not unique other people are developing same system

17 Jul 2017 - A disappointing trading statement last week from energy storage technology company RedT is not discouraging our experienced investor.
