Dominion Energy Virginia’s largest battery storage facility to date is currently operational.

The Dry Bridge Battery Energy Storage System, located in Chesterfield County, can store up to 20 MW of electricity and is enough to power 5,000 homes for up to four hours, says the company.

“Battery storage is an important part of our mission of delivering reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy to our customers,” says Ed Baine, president of Dominion Energy Virginia. “As our battery storage fleet grows, it means we can continue adding more clean energy to the grid while delivering the reliability our customers expect.”

Completion of the Dry Bridge facility comes on the heels of other recent battery storage developments for Dominion. In August, the company broke ground on a 50 MW battery storage project at Dulles International Airport. As well, the company announced its battery storage pilot projects at Darbytown Power Station and Virginia State University in September, both aimed at discovering longer-duration alternatives to traditional lithium-ion batteries.

It’s not as if the United States has held the moral high ground throughout its history, with its slavery, the butchering of the Indians, Jim Crow, the support of tyrannical dictatorships around the globe, and the corrupt suppression of the working class in favor of Trump’s billionaire donors.

Yet, it was very recently that the entire nation became a force for the destruction of civil society.

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
