Their ace in the hole though is to backfeed automobile batteries back into the grid when the sun doesn't shine so we really have nothing to worry about.

Well thank you for putting my mind at ease!

G-D we need to get some sane people in the state capitols and white house to temper some of this crazy bubblegum!

Ford Lost $36,000 For Every Electric Vehicle Sold Last Quarter, So Was Toyota Right? - The Autopian

I was hanging out with a friend who works as an automotive consultant, and I introduced him to a colleague as someone involved with autonomous vehicle companies. He quickly corrected me “Actually, more aerospace now.” It was a very telling correction. Just a few years ago, everyone was talking...

That's exactly why some of us fear the installation of "smart meters" or thermostats. The government could nationalize power companies and turn your power off at will.

They can try to shut my power off but I know a guy.

I am going to swap my smart meter out for a classic.

Looks like I might have to trade in my siphon hose and gas can for an extension cord and battery.

I don't look forward to hauling around a car battery while parking lot begging.

My latest PP&L bill came the other day. Dividing my payment by the number of Kilowatt Hours, my rate went from $.10 to $.14, so a 40% increase.

It's crazy that people still support eliminating our other sources of energy in favor of having an electricity monopoly.

Because strip-mining third world countries to harvest rare minerals is better for the environment.

Right? It's insane. Much better to have diversified energy sources. More options are better than fewer.

We're PP&L. Our last bill was $195.00. Seemed higher than usual. But Wifey takes care of that. There's nothing I can do about any of it anyway. We supplement with wood in our all electric house. Baseboard heat. I'm sure the neighbors people next door think we're destroying the planet. The people with the new 60K electric car, heat pump, electric lawn mower/string trimmer, and grass/weeds knee deep before they do anything about it.

We went to an estate sale up in WA of a guy that was a MAJOR, to the NTH degree, "Rock Hound". His yard and small out buildings were filled with cutting and polishing equipment. And tons, I'd say, of petrified wood. One guy there perusing the place told me that a huge rock hounding area in Northern Nevada had been closed because of future lithium mining.
