Some times I really feel like a broken record, but once again all I can say is “Slow down, let’s start from the beginning”. In this case the culprit was “A Solution to Solar Power Intermittency” i.e. “the article”, which appeared in Technology Review. At the end of the day the comments were on the [...]
