Welcome to the Solar Contest Site - started a long time ago...
OK, here is something I want to talk about. Batteries. Batteries are important. They are energy storage devices that provide flexibility for many purposes. Information on battery technology should be freely shared for the benefit of everyone.
Some batteries can hold an incredible amount of energy but lose their charge quickly over time. Other batteries might not be able to store as much, but can hold their charge for a long, long time. The type(s) of battery used really depends on the application.
One day perhaps there can be "battery banks". The beauty of these banks (in contrast to today's "money" banks, which I suspect are actually bankrupt) is that "energy in" would have to equal "energy out" over the "life" of the battery bank. If the bank could not provide the necessary energy, this would rapidly become evident for the consumers of the bank's electricity (or whatever form the energy is provided in...). Thus, Battery banks would have to be balanced by definition - contrast this with today's "fiat-constructed" money banks which are looking more and more like outright fallacies as each day goes by ---- literally.
It would be easy for the accountants to keep track of energy in and energy out because unlike the concept of money, energy cannot be "leveraged" based on faulty future assumptions as paper can be. Negative energy (i.e. "debt") makes no sense for a battery bank. Energy cannot be created out of nothing. Energy does not recognize or benefit from usury. Energy is REAL just like the Sun in the sky is REAL.
Anyhow, with that said, here is an idea to be freely shared with everyone.
What is the greatest "solar device" ever created on Earth that is already readily available, and with time we can "make" as many as we want (well maybe not "as many", but for sure plenty)???????
Answer: TREES.
Trees take time to grow, but if we plant them for the future the future will be so much better.
In a way, trees are sort of like long-term living batteries. We need trees. Plant trees, it will be good for everyone.
