Max Shrek "Powerplant" Proposed in Manchester.

 Who doesn't love a Batman reference? 

Well, it appears that Manchester are proposing to build a huge battery in order to capture wind and solar power and store it ready for when the wind don't blow and the sun don't shine.

The very thing that Max Shrek proposed in Batman and that almost cost Selina Kyle her life and turned her into catwoman in the film.

Back then I suppose the idea of a battery sucking up cheap energy, storing it and then delivering it when demand (and energy prices) are high was a bad thing back in the Eighties. Now, it seems that its a wonderful thing.

You see, the thing Max didn't do back in Batman was to spend a couple of decades moving public opinion in his favour. Now it's all greenwashed and acceptable.  Mainly because green renewable energy is so piss-poor at delivering bulk load energy.

But that's not stopped the idiots in power relying on it though, has it?
