Building way more renewable generation than needed at peak, plus elasticity brought by batteries (hello V2G cars) plus HVDC lines to transport power between regions will be faster and cheaper than deploying the most expensive form of power generation.
Yet, it’s the power companies that don’t want this. As it’s threatening their business model of central generation and metering every kWh going to the consumer.
This is the reason why these discussions keep popping up. Right wing parties are fully aligned with the centralised thinking of traditional power companies.
It reads like the Trump regime…
Still, the shelves will be empty during the summer and who knows also prior to the holidays.
Congrats. You just explained the problem of the West using a food analogy.
Nice. Keep posting more pics, they deserve that!
Just buy a used one for 50% less and pay cash.
An organic farmer would be wiser than to spread fresh manure over their fields. Manure needs to ripen for at least 6 months to a year. So yeah, buy organic.
I’m pretty sure the forces that are hijacking our political systems have very deep connections to the fossil fuel industry. These mofos have been running our society form over 200 years, and renewables and batteries are threatening their existence. Did we really believe they were going without a fight after the Paris Agreement in 2015?
Stop burning stuff. Cut of their oxigen. So we can save our world.
That’s not how the stockmarket works, lol.
Here’s a short short about shorting.

Good for you. These platforms are more addictive than alcohol, which is saying something.
Try to find a hobby that will occupy your mind.
Another tip: YouTube is bearable if you turn off your video history and only subscribe to channels that provide interesting, thoughtful and constructive videos.
Never, ever, ever give in to the constant whining of YouTube to turn history back on so they can give you better ‘recommendations’.
Most, except the hard right in the West, including Trump and his sycophants.
Indeed. In continental Europe, there’s religious parties like there’s no tomorrow. I’m like, WTF happened to separation of church and state?
Buy organic produce from a local supplier.
My wife’s HP Spectre something laptop became twice as fast when I reinstalled it and removed all the cruft.
Why are Anglo-Saxon ‘conservative’ governments hell-bent on punishing the poor to the fullest extent. They no longer hide the strategy that cruelty is the point! And the general public seems to like it, and votes for it in ever greater numbers, until it happens to themselves, of course.
Can someone explain this to a person who grew up in a Rhineland model based society that is now fast adopting the Anglo Saxon model (the Netherlands).
Indeed, exactly this. They are, just like the nazis did, using the small window of opportunity (where most folks still don’t realise what’s going on) to disable the basic checks and balances our modern system of governance provides.
However, as most of us in the West have such little understanding of how it would be to live under autocratic or even fascist rule, it’s just hard to grasp that we’re mere months away from precisely that happening.
I get where Grue is coming from.
Which sort of sums this whole regime’s work up, doesn’t it?
It’s always funny when looking at the tax-system in the US from an EU perspective. Americans looking at any receipt they get in an EU country and immediately pointing out the huge VAT tariff.
Then one only needs to point to the property tax in the US.
