Nepal's EV surge came in part from India applying oil restrictions to them in 2015.
Electrification and geopolitics.
Most people live in oil importing nations. It's going to have an effect.

Could do! $119 vs $140.
I am rooting for EGS's wild success as well.

You're going to focus on lowering costs by cutting the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy?
Also, OCED was the coolest thing going. Industrial decarb! This sucks.

The points mentioned here to reduce utility costs all make sense right up until this last bit on compensating solar owners with net metering.
"require procurement of power at full retail rates" is not a cost saving strategy

Supercapacitors made with a form of graphene at Monash U. are in the ballpark for battery-level energy density (0.33 to 0.5 of LiFePO volumetrically), with many multiples the power density.
Could be great for some applications, solo or paired with a battery.
