Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

As wealth concentrates, so does power β the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

Bottom line: The SRP election may be remembered as the moment when utility governance itself became part of the clean energy fight. Not just what utilities build. But who gets to decide. If you care about energy, affordability, or climate, pay attention. Itβs a preview of whatβs coming next.

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.
