How EESTOR can change Real Estate?
The Texas based company EESTOR is making huge waves in the energy storage arena and many think their technology will change the world of energy as we know it. Their new technology is basically a capacitor on steroids. It has the quick charge and discharge characteristics of a capacitor, but with a much higher energy density. In addition, this technology will be cheaper to manufacture than lead acid, making it all the more enticing.
You might have guessed that the major interest behind this technology lies with the automobile industry. Its potential to reduce carbon emissions is astonishing. There are also plenty of articles out there that discuss EESTOR’s use in several other applications, but I have not seen a whole lot on how the technology could change the real estate, housing, and construction sectors. I thought I would collect my thoughts and try to build a prediction for several industries and sectors tied to real estate based on EESTOR’s potentially earth shattering technology. This is by no means a scientific analysis, but there is an underlying economics influence. Please read with an open mind and a desire to think out of the box…
Here are a few assumptions and facts, predictions will be based on:
- EESTOR technology will pass all verification, be mass produced, and will perform as good or better than its predicted specifications
- The lag time for automobile makers and other industries to incorporate the technology will be within 2 years of EESTOR’s release
- Buildings are the second largest consumers of energy
- The electric grid loses 400 billion kwh of energy through transmission lines in the US
- Gasoline and oil prices are at record levels
- Americans commute an average of 40 miles a day to get to work and back
- Alternative energy is gaining major ground, but battery/energy storage technology is the Achilles heal of practicality and efficiency, and keeps alternative energy from being more competitive with fossil fuels
- There are 167,000 gas stations in the US
- Electric cars have far fewer moving parts than their combustion counterparts
- Propane, heating oil, and wood are the primary sources of energy for heating in homes without access to natural gas.
