A little bit of this. A little bit of that.

Reply to UV light from the sun slowly breaks down plastics on the ocean’s surfaces: researchers calculate that about two percent of visibly floating plastic may disappear from the ocean surface in this way each year by giuliomagnifico
More breaks up than breaks down.
Micro plastic everywhere and in everything.

Reply to comment by colcob in If I had two cups of water, one normal size and one as big as a swimming pool and stirred them both with proportionally sized spoons, would the larger pool of water keep spiraling longer than the smaller? by r3volc
Tested and verified. Source I was a kid/teen with access to an above ground swimming pool.

I reread the article. I missed that they mentioned a 155k/Mw controller. I was thinking a lot smaller scale when they mentioned micro grid.

Oh don’t get me wrong. I think micro grid are definitely the way to go. I just this the ‘expensive’ electronic controller (as described in the article, not me) is a better fit for long term and efficiency.

Not very efficient though. Mechanical losses will be high.
Ok for a drop in as an emergency or temporary solution.

Nice to hear. I should look out for this in other appropriated shows.
