Various climate / energy / policy topics. A focus towards slightly more in depth research than typically seen

I pulled up the NH Net Metering rules and see that they charge the following:

Transmission fees (FERC/federal fees): $12.92/625kWh = $0.02

Distribution fees (PUC/local fees): $25.88/625kWh = $0.04

Compared to this ship: 1000 miles: $41.5 / 1000kWh = $0.04

A full comparison would require knowing what distances NH moves power over, and what other transmission would need to be coupled with one payload from the ship. But I think that this shows the costs may be in the right ballpark. And - having this as an option where lines are not possible (NIMBYism, etc), or in the face of natural disasters, is a huge win.

Now.. is that ship electric?

Last ditch effort here - a year ago or so there was posed a link to a page which had wonderful visual and text descriptions of different battery technologies and their tradeoffs. It illustrated 5-6 different dimensions which one might optimize for (e.g. charging speed, capacity, cost, lifetime, etc) on these little charts which looked a bit like spiders' webs.

I thought that was a great resource, but didn't save it at the time. Anyone know what I'm talking about or have a link? Thanks!
