the long work weeks we have today is because more work can be done.

in medieval age, you had to sow, half a year later you had to reap, and in between maybe idk milk the cows, though that takes a few minutes a day, not much longer. so they couldn't work more, because it simply wouldn't have made sense. That's why they didn't work more, not because they didn't need to.

parts in a Renewable Energy system in c/[email protected]

My idea is that most Hydro-Power plants can be used as reservoirs with little modification.

And biomass can be burned at whatever moment you like (provided you have the plants to do so), so it is "on-demand power" in some sense.

Elements of Renewable Energy (slrpnk.net)
 

Renewable Energy has many parts, and some of them can do jobs that others cannot do. It is important to work together to bring the best renewable Energy to the world that we can hope to achieve.

This diagram represents a short overview over different elements of a renewable energy network, and what the different parts can do, and what not.

For example, Hydropower can be both an energy source (flowing water through a turbine) but also a means of energy storage (by keeping the water behind the dam). Renewable Biomass can be stored well, but can also be turned into a renewable source of energy. Batteries can store energy well, but cannot produce energy.

billionaires are a cancer of society and need to be cut out. they think of nothing but their own growth and will damage all of the system because of it. we need to get rid of them before it's too late.

Edit: better yet, we need policies that disencourage their behavior.

It's like a fishing net catching only the small fish, but letting the big fish slip through the holes.
