Crystal Frasier: I wish Democrats would understand that it doesn’t matter how much the oil companies bribe you, if you support fast tracking clean energy you’ll get popular support AND get a brand new and less-regulated energy industry to bribe you.

They know! That’s why they put all that green money into their major spending bills! It’s having a huge impact! bsky.app/profile/alec...

Contender for favorite chart of all time: Predictions vs. Reality for solar energy.

Done and done. Solar Power barn built by me and Joe. I just sent Joe $5.

This is sweet! Did you get battery backup or an EV?

EV

also we did a solar hot water into Pex tubing under seed tables in a starter greenhouse.

Solar Hot Water for seed tables in the fist hoop house. Flexible tubing under wire grid tables. Seed trays. Plants popping out.

Very nice! Solar hot water is an underutilized use case

The New York Times wants you to know that Joe Biden is old. But when you ask if they also think the public should be informed on the legislation and other policies passed in the Biden administration they’ll say that’s not their job.

You mean like the billions in climate funding they passed under the IRA and the IIJA that I am using to fund DER, EV, and resilience projects?

You correctly describe their strategy, btw: using a mix of grants, tax incentives, and protectionism to build a strong US renewable industry to act as advocates for themselves.

That's the American Dream right there.

Right?! It's not going anywhere. That's the whole point.
