Seems like their homemade ones were working pretty well at a fraction of the cost.

I pretty much agree with you. Voting just gives “them” an idea of what we will put up with.
I wish we could organize like the religious right has. With a minority position they have made amazing changes. I suspect they will destroy democracy before we’re able to learn and apply their strategy.
They should have, but it probably wouldn’t make a difference. The superdelegates controlled the nomination.
Any consumer electronics is difficult to get into. Certainly the auto industry. Railroads. It’s difficult to start an ISP, even a non profit one. I think the list goes on.
Ok. Same reason firefighters are not supposed to let their kids wear their helmet while selling lemonade. They are supposed to be impartial.
For the same reason police shouldn’t be allowed to participate in white power marches in their uniforms. They are supposed to be neutral.
Or people stop speeding.
Hopefully this change will alleviate that problem.
People don’t speed because they are distracted. People speed because they think they are better than average drivers; every damn one of them.
It’s pretty much the only place left to operate. Protectionism has stopped innovation everywhere else.
Down votes for you being an anti-witchhuntist?
Right now I use all/new as I build my subscribe and block list. Eventually I will use subscribed/scaled
Another case of Democrats not taking action when they had the opportunity.
I would be very selective on where I used battery power, if at all. At the moment I think I would use grid power instead. For air conditioning I would get the house as cold as I could while the sun was shining then coast throughout the night. Same for the refrigerator. I would run the table saw on dc directly from the solar panels.
Much of the existing grid’s issues could be fixed with reconductorting. Changing the design of renewable interconnect for half-cycle ride-through and power-factor compensation would have been interesting but now there is so much capacity this is practically inconsequential.
As DC interconnects becomes more common the grid becomes more resilient and flexible. Most of these are paid for with private investor money.
Seems like a great opportunity for grid-issolated solar cooling.
I think you are correct. I think it is mostly FUD by large generators. Not that the grid doesn’t need updating but it’s not due to distributed generation yet.
If I were going to do solar today I would do grid isolated with automatic transfer switches. The panels are much cheaper, you get power when the grid is down, and you have more granular control over how you use power.
I hate rocket on my pizza!
