Yeah. Those claims are just some random AI slop from claude..

That's not necessarily true, you can have multiple cache points, see e.g. https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt...

Why would a salesperson rubber stamp product decisions? Even if yes, there are other roles that approved the changes.

This is very standard stuff in Finland for decades. And before heat pumps became popular large tanks were common and those were heated during the night.

The problem still exists up north where solar produces about zero energy for months. Of course, wind power is option there.

That depends on the consumer (and market I guess). In many countries in Europe that is an option. (Although there should be some extra fees on top).

The explanation is lack of interconnect, not losses in transmission. If you have enough capacity to transfer electricity the prices will be equal in two neighboring electricity mar…

Empirically this doesn't seem to happen.

Finland is probably like 15000 kWh/year/house (for a new house more like 10000 kWh/year). All the heating of the house & water is done by electricity, though.

Yes, 4€/kWh, which is dynamically adjusted (if that spot price is reached).

Europe has a max price and prices are determined on the previous day.

I'm not expert in the system in California, but usually consumers are already paying the average spot price (plus some significant margin, which takes into consideration the demand…

In a spot price system you can use electricity when the price is higher than average.

A house will not cool down immediately. It will cool down rather slowly in most cases (or at least if it's well built). There are also various ways to store thermal energy or use a…

In Nordpool the prices are set the day behind so there's no surprise bill. If the spot price goes up one actually should pay more, which incentives reducing electricity consumption…

96% of Norwegians use a spot price contract. Seems to work just fine.

You can set a sensible max price, like sensible spot price system do.

Seems like a lot of complexity that can be solved by simple spot pricing for electricity. With spot pricing you can decouple solar and battery storage, as battery owners can make a…

Counterpoint: kitchens were separate also in countries where the cooking was not commonly done by "the help".

For reference here's a video of F-18 doing it (with conventional landing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj_eJxy8ojk

Properly designed heat pump system includes backup for the coldest days - usually direct electric heating. Most houses in Finland have a (decent) fireplace for heating in case of a…

Selling electricity at wholesale rate is an incentive.

Apparently not generating power will cause the panel to slightly overheat which will add additional tear on the panel, so it might make sense to pay the negative prices instead. No…

Are you saying the price is negative during high PV production? In sane markets like Finland solar panel owners need to pay for generating electricity to the grid if the price is n…
