You don't have to know anything about what the Supreme Court says to understand that the federal government has no legal warrant extort through violence what it is not legally entitled to under constitution and law.

As someone who pays around 11 cents, it's hard to wrap my head around those rates. And also, the regional variability in rates, and thus in solar economics, is really something.

Spot on. Excellent.

This analysis has fresh relevance this morning! Imagine adding in the cost of US military intervention on behalf of oil to the equation.

Love the neighborhood approach. Makes me think about how small portable batteries could be layered in. A couple of neighborhood 2 kwh Bluetti batteries would open up layers of additional resilience. Charge them up at the solar house and run critical loads elsewhere.

Ha! Good point.

Which full size stove?

It's so bad/hard. In places with low penetration rates and weaker policy it's even more difficult. I think people routinely give up. It's all so ridiculous because the technology is really quite simple.

Ha! That's a list.

And Rancho Gordo does not disappoint!

Hilarious!

Remember how nuclear power boosters promised electricity generation "too cheap to meter"? Well...

Serious question. Is anyone working on making that happen? Seems like it is worth a concerted and organized effort. Some combo of public pressure on a handful of targets and behind the scenes discussion.

Collector's item. 😆

Legitimate issues. Though the self-certification at CVS and elsewhere is something people should know about. You don't even have to say what condition makes you eligible, just that you are eligible. And the list includes "physical inactivity." I'm skeptical this could lead to a policy cancellation.

No where for rooftop. That's a lager utility scale price.

Do you know how CVS is handling the new limiting guidance?

Ugh. So much this. Or even buying one.

New ducting bc heat pump requires larger? New ducting is a major detractor for me. Big undertaking. I've read mixed things on whether it's necessary.

SPP topping CAISO. Wouldn't have been my guess. Now imagine if solar was matched/balanced to the wind here.

Dude. Sort out the cause and effect. Consider the structural analysis. Understand how policy ties in. Try not to insult clever and ambitious rural people along the way. I don't hold urban people responsible for hegemonic urban policy. Much narrower interests are at the root.

Love your work on Volts, but not sure how saying things like "anyone clever or ambitious leaves for the city" is not also bigoted.

I have a theory that utility operators just like combusting stuff.

Doesn't it seem like it would be terrible politics too?

Ha/uff. I feel like so much political strategy - this and otherwise - has not adapted to the current reality. Still trying things that might have worked 15 years ago.

Got it. I agree.

Say more. I don't quite follow: "it would require mobilizing a different political base than the booster class with economic populism"

What then are the underlying motives? Large equipment makes it inconvenient; operators like the look of unbroken crop land. Yes? No? What else?
