Let's talk about power! I recently heard one of my favorite podcasters, talk about what car he is going to get next. He is a tech guy and he's a little progressive for the record. He said I don't know but it will not be gasoline powered. He's an electric car guy. He has solar panels on his roof and batteries in his garage. He said I've heard gasoline is a little expensive lately. Lol

We are going to talk about my favorite form of renewable energy. Solar. There is this huge ball of plasma in the sky doing nuclear fusion for free. Or maybe it is fission. I can't remember. The cheapest form of energy on the planet right now is solar energy powered by cheap Chinese solar panels. But we don't like China. But it could be our energy independence.

Here is my idea. Put solar panels and batteries on every structure in the United States. Create a grid of energy that has no single source to destroy. Create a grid so resilient that no one storm can take it out. It has no single point of failure. We've done big things before. We can do them now. Remember when we built the interstate system or electrified America the first time? Of course we still need power plants. Artificial intelligence is incredibly power-hungry. It takes a lot of power to create a life form. Microsoft is the owner of a nuclear power plant. Let that sink in. The future is going to require a lot of power and there's an awful lot of power in the sky for free every day.

But these are just the crazy ramblings of a stoned pothead gay progressive blind hippie cripple, who thinks too much (but who is awfully handsome. Lol).
