Personally, I’m partial to a thin crust cheese pizza folded and dipped into either hot sauce or ranch. But I also enjoy modest amounts of meat, greens and pineapple.
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.
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.
You would need to ask the department for a copy of its policies to see. The ones I have seen say the officer should have it on for every interaction with the public, but sometimes they forget and some other times they “forget”.
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 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.
ESS is worthy of a separate post. I doubt they are involved in this anti-gas chicanery, but they would really help push us to a more sustainable future.

I’ve used “hot” for a long while but recently changed to “active”. I honestly can’t say the difference between them.
