I hope you have a chance to chat with folks from Australia and learn how distributed solar+batteries have changed everything

Putting literal *power* in the hands of the people is a great way to help them fight against anti-democratic fossil fuel oligarchs + companies and predatory utilities

$1455? What a deal!

My 2026 Blue Shield is $1975/mo — wife’s is similar

~$46K per year for a couple

Plus deductibles ($2600 each)

And co-pays (up to $7K each out of pocket), non covered costs etc. —

All-in $50-$60K+

That can’t be true.

Australia has tons of rooftop solar and at least here in California the utilities and PUC keep telling us that rooftop solar just raises prices for everyone else.😏

Same dynamic also beautifully captured by Louis Malle in Lacombe, Lucien — excellent film about an underachieving farm boy who ends up working for the French affiliate of the Gestapo toward the end of WWII
