Thanks for the comment @MasterChief. I don’t know what happened to your previous comment.

If you can send a link detailing Norway’s typical hydro lake energy storage capacity versus its annual consumption I will amend my report from 12 to 8 months. Even at 8 months Norway has much, much more energy storage capacity than New Zealand which allows Norway’s hydro lake system to be a ‘green battery’ for Europe. Whereas because of the ‘dry year risk’ our hydro lakes cannot reliably fulfil that function for NZ.

Sure BEV in Norway benefits from favourable government supports but these policies are environmentally and economically justifiable because Norway has an abundance of reliable, low cost renewable electricity production.

Prof Bardsley is the originator of the whole Lake Onslow concept so is a significant source of information. But I have also sourced information from media articles, ICCC and Transpower. I do not copy and paste and I do provide website links to the various source material I use. Therefore @MasterChief I think your question -‘How much of this is your own original work? is an unnecessary putdown i.e. attacking the man not the ball.
