They think you don't understand what a battery does. Largely because of the Inflation Reduction Act & cost declines, the U.S. now how about 14 Hoover Dams worth of batteries installed on the grid. They raised taxes on clean energy & are trying to justify the blackouts & price spikes they will cause.
Burgum: "When the sun goes down, you have a catastrophic failure called sunset and there's no solar energy produced, and yet we're subsidizing these things that are intermittent, unreliable, and expensive. We've gotta get back to base load."

Colonialism teaches the general populace to accept racism and even discriminate against a specific or their own as long as the few are prosperous. Indigenous people seek to accomplish the opposite. We must shake this colonial spell.

*past McCarthyism*: understand this
Just learned from LinkedIn that a Heritage Foundation affiliate is now FOIA-ing (or equivalent) instructors’ syllabi to go snooping for supposed illegal DEI at state universities. It’s hard to describe how far past McCarthyism we’re headed here.

Connect the dots between FPTP and why we don’t get policy we want.
