Crowdsourcing here: a house I'm hopefully closing on has a huge detached garage. My goal is to subdivide the garage into two bars:

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires
