It makes you SICK ( actually it probably will) they preach to the likes of me about don't put your home fire on,switch the lights off. You'll kill the planet if you don't put that empty baked bean can in the right bin. Meanwhile THEY,ALL OF THEM are blasting power spillage into the universe like a drunkard on the eve of prohibition. I've read of how much power,that has to be generated first is used to power AI (artificial idiocy) and all these fuckin bombs they're dropping all over the place that must pack the environment with toxins. People can write stories,draw pictures,hoover the floor. I know there is film from way,way back,I never saw it but I read a review of it. It's from the 1970s I think. It stars Julie Christie as a woman who lives in a totally computer regulated home ( how's that for prescient,and the computer rapes her. Let's hope that ones not in development,bet it is.

Bret you are over the target! I don’t understand how this isn’t front and center for the “energy warriors” who connect every snowstorm, fire, flood, drought, or afternoon shower with carbon centered climate change. And we are now competing for electrical energy in an increasingly demand hungry future, where supply can only be increased incrementally. I think rooftop solar where appropriate is fantastic, and a good hedge against supply disruptions (blackouts), but with batteries it is pricey. Owning your power production is a good idea if you can afford it, especially if you can store the electrons for when you are going to need them.
