Yesterday on the grid: Early a.m. we charged our EV off the grid (blue). Midday, solar power mostly went to the grid (yellow). Evening, Powerwall battery pumped juice to the grid as part of a virtual power plant (green). Battery fully recharged by 1 p.m. today from solar. #Renewables#VPP#EnergyTransition#Solar#power
“You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love“
9 days after #Trump won the 2016 election, …the Mayflower Hotel, blocks from the WH,…[was] abuzz w/the possibilities of a future that changed overnight. #HillaryClinton, the woman the anti- #abortion movement feared more than perhaps anyone, failed to win…. And #LeonardLeo & the #conservative#legal movement that he worked for yrs to create were about to reclaim #power. With that power would come the chance to do what seemed unthinkable until this moment: strategize to take down #RoeVWade.
My #homeassistant produced this nice image, because today was totally clear sky and my solar panels were providing full power. It's funny how doing things at home is so clearly visible in power usage.
#ElonMusk has steadily ramped up his criticism of #Biden…. Musk has posted about Biden ≥7X a month since Jan, attacking the president for everything from his age to his policies on immigration & health. Before that, he posted about Biden twice in Dec & not at all in Nov. In all, #Musk had posted nearly 40X about Biden this year, compared w/about 30X for all of last year.
"In patriarchal societies where #masculinity is coded as #power and control, men often try to get closer to women through power and control. The range of how this plays out is vast. It could be inconsequential, or it could end a woman’s life. This (...) may also be a reason why so many women in the “Man or Bear” debate chose the bear."
I recommend every man to read this piece by long-distance #cyclist Laura Killingbeck.
73,856 people without power in TX; 40,741 people without power in Wisconsin; 19,933 people without power in Illinois per Poweroutage.us #grid#power#disasters
The permanent #injunction ends Giuliani’s yrs of attacks on Freeman & Moss.
It also gives the women #power to hold him accountable if he ever again suggests they took votes from #Trump /gave votes to #Biden
We’re witnessing a concerted effort by #Trump & #MAGA#politicians to cast doubt on the legitimate & strong #FultonCounty#ElectionInterference case by attacking the prosecutor. It’s an effort that takes advantage of every avenue of #government#power to which Trump’s allies have access. Their goal? #Delay#accountability for Trump’s alleged attempt to illegally overturn a presidential election.
States and corporations have almost unlimited power over the life of simple individual. A madman on top of state hierarchy could kill 100 000 of innocents and get away with it, while you may have a prison sentence because of a comment in the web. If you, like us, anarcho-mystics – think, that this is unfair -Turn your mind into a weapon!

Still 547,131 customers without power in Texas (!) - usually about 3 people per customer, so that's 1.5M people without power in sweltering conditions. #TXwx#power
Earlier this week, a box I haven’t seen in over a year appeared in our office elevator.
The brown box is marked for emergencies, and includes water, cookies and diapers — in case you are trapped inside the elevator when the power goes out.
Electrical engineers had been able to come up with various plans to keep the #power on, but this week, they started coming up short, he said. Electrical imports from other countries can only do so much, and consumer demand went up due to a cold snap in #ukraine
