Make all DCs provide their own power and suddenly they’d be large amounts of solar and battery in cheap scrubland A typical US DC costs about $35b per GW. Solar and battery would increase that to about $45b. Then during summer it would generate so much excess power that it would run all the domestic air conditioning you could need. | ||
