Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels. I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow. Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’ Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path. Strap in. It’s a 🧵 1/so many

An idea for reducing peak demand: give households inverters and batteries. Batteries can be charged at night and set to power the house during peak hours. Cost of hardware could be less than the current max PV grant. Panels can be added later if desired. irishtimes.com/politics/oirea…
