/s noted.

If anyone out there is in a weather related power outage or has a tree fall on their home don't go out and buy a generator thinking insurance will cover it. I found out the hard way that they'll only cover rentals even if it's more expensive that way.

I did a full solar system, specced to 120% of our average yearly usage, with battery storage and backup. As a Texas resident, surviving our grid became a priority after the cold snap/heat wave of ‘21/‘22 and so on…

Renewable energy, trains, bike lanes, buses, traffic quieting, tax incentives for businesses that adopt remote work (or penalties for RTO), and heavy taxes and regulations around data centers.

That's what the country needs.

Not abortion bans, bathroom bills, and upside-down flags.

Project 2025 actively fights against acknowledging climate change. Whether it is due to religion, intentional ignorance or power over those that cannot help the situation.
