Yeah 3-4 racks tall head to feet, 8 hr rotations one 40 foot trailer can house 90 guys.

I'm glad my couple seconds spent googling brought some joy into her life. That's what I'm here for.My wife likes your ants picture.
They stole that story line from a Simpsons episode!!!"The Twilight Zone" The Shelter (TV Episode 1961) ⭐ 8.6 | Drama, Fantasy, Horror

Never underestimate your "friends".
Stressing all the supply chains.
Will you be building a back up system for your Folks?My folks in Temple, TX got hit by an F2 tornado Wednesday night and it took several thousand roofs off based on all the blue tarps I saw driving through there on Sunday. Their Power was out for four days and they lost most of their trees, but house was spared.
The next day on Thursday, an hour to the east of them, a Tornado went right over my house. Wiped out tons of big oak trees but miraculously our home was spared. Power here in our area was out (for everyone else) for 3 days. Was shocked to see that my panels were still attached and working.
My wife said it is official now.. our solar system with battery back up for the house has paid for itself!
This is what the tornado that hit us looked like on radar.
That makes perfect sense but I have the world’s most stubborn parents who refuse to use any technology newer than 1959. I’ve offered generators, battery backups, etc. and all I get is “No thanks, we’re fine”. I had to argue with them that eating the food still in the refrigerator after almost 4 days without power, might increase the risk of food poisoning to a couple octogenarians.
yea I posted several pics from our rogers damage a few days ago
That is a great attitude to have about living life ..it’s most admirable …but like food water and meds , there’s a fine line one walks between helping and and becoming a target for the nare-do-wells of life…as they are always watching…
You can break in and steal a bag of wheat, gasoline, ammo, even food and run down the street escaping…....but how does one steal kwh’s…
In my father's later years I noticed he was getting paranoid in my opinion. When I confronted him about it, I said " are you getting a little paranoid?". His response was "yea, but am I paranoid enough!". Good point dad, good point. RIP
Not just Texas unfortunately. People are driving like idiots everywhere.
Sorry. Not "Super Cheap", particularly not at scale. A large scale gas generator is going to be the cheaper, more scaleable and the timeline is not that long. My DIY setup has cost me over $40,000. That's 15+ years of commercially generated power at retail, if it operates flawlessly over that time period, so the given ROI is somewhat dubious. There was not a single cloud in the sky all day today. I live in a decidedly optimal location for solar, not everyone can say that, and you cannot guarantee production even here, thus at some point you might need a generator or commercially generated power from somewhere.
the view from where over what city?
I offered everyone power but nobody wanted any lol
I'm not sure how much a 500MWh gas plant costs but it's got to be more than a couple million dollars? On a utilitiy scale prob makes more sense to colocate the batteries with solar or wind, so you can potentially charge up without tapping into the grid.
It used to be about 1M dollars a megawatt. I am sure it has gone up due to supply chain, inflation, and labor costs.
It really shouldn't be that much, but that's probably realistic these days, probably double that. Much of the cost is not the equipment, just the administrative overhead. Good news though is that once in you can expand capacity. Sadly, this is why this stuff tends to get relegated to giant companies and huge scale, because the overhead eats you up. Unfortunately for the larger corporate interests, solar works better distributed, but the average joker in an apartment can't leverage solar on his or her own.
