Nissan proposed to make a street lamp with a used car battery module in the base, so each lamp can hold 10 kWh distributed neatly all around the city

The fun thing about Vertical Axis wind turbines is that they don't interfere with each other, so they can be packed closely together.

  • Nice, especially with a solar panel at the top. But street lamps near roads are prone to accidents, and I'm sure a big block of Li-Ion in the base would make these way more risky.

    The idea is not bad, but also a testament to the batteries problem. The current technology in them dies too fast if this could be a viable solution. Nice for the current state of reality, but hopefully batteries are better in the future.
