This is just like with the crypto mining. Energy market regulations are made by idiots, so it’s easier to just ban the business altogether than charge them more for electricity and other resources

They’ll throttle you more - it’s just different way of gouging price

Energy=mass always. Theoretically you can make a black hole out of light, or you can turn that photon energy into inertial mass by running light in a closed loop.

5G was a scam. Promises were impossible to fulfill and investment forums were full of paid shills propping up the telcom stocks. In reality 5G has the exact same throughput as 4G. Nothing changed

They have mass. Everything that has energy has mass. They don’t have inertial mass but it’s just part of the equation

team of engineers who worked on the decision

You misspelled politicians. In case of the large scale project the decisions are made by politicians. And their goal isn’t exactly to spend money in optimal way. It’s to spend money on big flashy projects that win them votes.

How many gallons per football field is that?

And when I say football I men real one

Let’s do some math:

2.1GWh

And

Multi billion dollar price (let’s assume 3 billion)

2.1GWh - > 3billion

2.1MWh - > 3 millon

2.1kWh - > 3000 Usd /2.1

1KWh - > ~1430 USD

Considering that 1kWh in lithium ion batteries is like 150 USD they aren’t getting a good value out of it.

I did but not in US or UK

Why would anyone punish birds for jacking off?

What if you don’t have enough engineers to do crucial work? What people want to do in general doesn’t have to be aligned with what is needed. Financial incentives are there to reward people for picking career path that is needed. If every wage is the same you have no incentives and you’ll get misalignment.

The problems you list are solvable

They aren’t. Every solution proposed by Marxists is fatally flawed.

The downvotes lol.

Leftists/commies have no argument here so they can only resort to angry downvotes and maybe false reports.

The unnecessary one.

society can choose to believe that the value of the work lies in the effort rather than the output

Beliefs won’t feed you. Raw output won’t feed you either. What feeds you is an output of things society actually needs. There’s no reasonable way of gathering information of what every single member of society needs, worse some members will lie to get more resources than they should. That approach has fundamentally unsolvable problems

all work is equal

It isn’t.

And I wouldn’t bother being power line engineer if I could just flip burgers for the same wage

You have plenty to choose: Electric Soapboxes on wheels or pretty looking coffins with door handles that ensure you burn inside.
