In Australia, rooftop solar permitting & utility interconnection take 24 hours each. In the US, each step is 60-90 days, plus more time for post-install inspection. More deets in this podcast 👇🏼
Today on Volts: you've probably heard that Australia has cheap rooftop solar power. You've probably also heard some rumors & myths about it. (Is it destabilizing the grid?) I called my favorite Australian energy expert to clear it all up. This is a fun one!

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cuts.

Hormonal contraceptives impact side effects-something most obgyns do not discuss with patients. Misinformation about hormonal treatments happens in the doctor’s office as well which is why women seek information elsewhere. It’s a nightmare. This is the organization I trust:

We should be putting a gargantuan amount of money into solar and storage. War economy levels. It should be free to have a guy from the government solar your house up. Electricity should basically cost nothing.

Nope, the Trump administration hasn't given up on trying to ban abortion.
Just this week, RFK Jr. pushed a fake report about the abortion medication mifepristone.
He's peddling misinformation so he can lay the groundwork for restricting abortion access no matter where you live.
