Coating red bricks with conductive polymers turns them into supercapacitors.
I am thinking my home has about 150 square meters of brick, that is quite a bit of capacity.161 Wh per square meter for a wall made of regular bricks treated with polymer.
Here is an interesting development.
Whoa: Scientists Turned Red Bricks Into Supercapacitors

24 Kwh of storage, would allow most solar panel systems to cover the hours without daylight, for a few nights.
Well we should be doing that anyway, but anything that improves our ability to store energy is a move in the right direction.we should invest in thorium and thats it

Yea, I was also thinking of the fire hazard, I am sure there are some bugs to work out.What keeps it from discharging that electricity into the ground via the foundation, or you know, little kids when they touch it?
I did not say no nuclear, we need more options for energy, not less!i definetely have to agree but why no nuclear energy?
Definitely something that would have to be built in!I wonder about a few things
Durability, hot sun, freezing cold, hail etc
If the bricks on my home are storing energy,, will touching one of them cause the release of the energy. As the bricks are on the front facade of my house people will touch it
Will the bricks become polarized and as such be more likely to attract lightning?
I generally expect that this would have to be used on dedicated buildings and retrofitting would be very expensive

I understand that that quite a few groups are working on thorium reactors, including some thati suppose it was a question to the government
we need thorium!
I just gleaned over the technical paper,Definitely something that would have to be built in!
I will see if I can find a more technical description than from yahoo!
I understand that that quite a few groups are working on thorium reactors, including some that
will consume the spent fuel from old reactors.
More and more people are realizing that green means nuclear power.is the government on board or is it green new deal time?

Any Green New Deal Is Dead Without Nuclear Power
Should a Green New Deal include nuclear power? >> Yale Climate Connections
I have portable generators for Hurricane season, but have thought about one of the automatic ones that just cover a few key circuits.I am guessing this is more like the solar highways---works in theory or in a lab, but complete failure in the field.
I was considering a grid-tied power wall for outages until 1) a laptop battery exploded at someone I know's house and burned the place to the ground and 2) shortly thereafter, one of my cell phones had a "thermal shutdown" and got so damned hot I threw it as hard as I could against the pavement to destroy it before it could #1. Since then, I have been eyeballing natural gas generators but they are are still a bit pricey for no more often than I would be needing it.
People are not ignoring nuclear, the left simply generated so much fear, that it takes a while to unseat that fear.well thats good

I think, we should store surplus solar and wind energy as transport fuels, but people are all worried because they are hydrocarbons,
but that is how nature stores energy!
Nuclear is great, but we still have to produce energy is a portable package that allows jets to fly across the ocean.hydro and nuclear is the futrue

I am thinking we use the atmospheric CO2 to make our transport fuel.

We simply cycle the carbon in and out of the system, not changing the level.
We will never hit peak oil!im for it
when will peak oil hit?
