If you could power your home using banks of 9 Volt batteries, how much would it cost?
Chemical power is much cheaper than other power sources, however, disposal of batteries is very expensive and polluting.
The cost of all power sources tend to stay the same. This prevents people from converting their systems such as heating from one energy source to another.
It would be almost four times more expensive due to the amount of individual batteries required. The cost would be near the same if they could manufacture a 120V DC battery.
The power company sells power at approximately 1/4 of one-thousandth of the price typically paid for power from a 9 V battery.
