We often hear about there being, for example in the US, a two-tier system.

What is that exactly, you may ask.

Imagine a lifeboat in shark-infested waters. there's room in the boat for 12, and there are 24 people.

The ones in the water, for example you and I, are in the second tier.

When good environmental news is akshully bad news as a distraction from WaPo's owner fighting the constitutionality of the NLRB.

From the WaPo:

Grid operators in California are grappling with a strange reality: There is so much solar on the grid that, on sunny spring days when there’s not as much demand, electricity prices go negative. Gigawatts of solar are “curtailed” — essentially, thrown away.

@QueenValhalla Neighborhood solar that can switch off grid tie (utilities fight this idea tooth and nail) has the advantage of potential resiliency during ice storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, pandemics and wars. There should be battery storage (for example, in electric vehicles) and auto-switching so the microgrids can be called upon to help the macro-grid when needed.
