Reminder that Texas is a separate grid, which is deregulated and financialized, according to neoliberal ideals of efficiency.

      I hate talking about solar here because you hear the dumbest fucking arguments against it that it makes me want to get violent.

      It can’t support all our energy needs? It’s better than using 100% fossil fuels though you have to start somewhere.

      What about when the suns not out? BITCH ITS FUCKING TEXAS
