Isnβt that exactly the green left woke tech Orban is afraid of? I wonder what the Chinese paid them to think green. Not that Iβm complaining but you know there must be corruption involved with Hungary. The incentives are very visible.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

Yes and no. Such a distributed battery storage system is necessary, if you want to use renewables as main energy source - that would be a green green motivation to implement such a system. There is a potential olive green motivation, too - such a system hardens your energy infrastructure against falling missile debris, smoking accidents and other natural desaster. Well, and against broken gas pipelines - this might even be the main reason? And making money, of course.
That totally makes sense and I would like to see that from other countries. Introduce dynamic prices that are cheaper when a lot of renewable energy is in the grid. Charge those home batteries. Use that energy to power your home in other periods. I have a battery for my solar system and it totally is awesome.
I think it is inefficient for each home in a neighborhood to have their own battery. Wouldn't it make more sense to have a big battery for 20 homes or so?
It feels like individual action when collective action is needed.
It really doesn't matter. Those batteries are small. Smaller than a fridge. Like this one box in your cellar with all that crap in it. So they do not take much space and it's easier to put them into individual homes (just one party involved) than organizing to put them into neighborhoods (many people involved, which ensures that nothing productive will be done)
But you will need more unused capacity to avoid wasting energy with lots of small batteries than with fewer larger ones. It does matter.
Now I want to import more than salami and paprika from Hungary!
