I would need at least 5 Powerwalls for 1 day of consumption. Earlier today, my PV produced 123.7 kWh, 107.7 kWh of which were exported to the grid, and only 16 kWh self-consumed.
5 Power Walls are much more than 16kWh.

They measure productivity in dollars spent per minute.

Every time I go past the In-n-Out Burger and see 40-50 cars lined up to talk into a scratchy intercom and wait half an hour to get food, I think how much more convenient it would be if all of those people could just park their car wherever they wanted (or even not have to get into their car at all), enter their order into an app on their phone, and have their food lowered down to them by a drone.

There'd be no more congestion issues, no need to spend 30 minutes idling in a slowly-advancing car lineup, and no need to repeat your order three times so a teenager can still get it wrong. You might have to deal with gangs of crows trying to intercept your order mid-delivery, though.

Classical base load mostly does not exist anymore.
So a non dispatchable wind plant: is of course base load. What else would it be?
You orchestrate your load following and load balancing plants around the fire and forget plants and the variations of wind and consumer behaviour.

Wind is by all means base load.

More efficient than a Diesel generator.
And as bonus points it provides clean water.

Depending on region and season, Solar is not intermittent. The sun goes up around 6:00 and goes down around 18:00, shines all day.
A 500W solar panel costs here about $80.
So with your idiotic 25cent per kWh, the panel is paid off in a week or two.

Obviously you have think about battery and inverter. You can go small on the battery if you dump surplus into the cooling trailer and surplus on top of that into the water pump and finally into the bitcoin miner. If your cooler is good enough, it stays cool over night. And battery only needs to cover your LED lights and your internet connection.

So, the question comes with your intermittency ... how do you have to plan, if you have a rain season or something where you have 3 or 4 month lots of clouds? The cooling trailer etc. should be no problem to keep running. And you most likely need a panel more than under optimal conditions.

About both.

Given what Chinese industrial policy did to American rare earth mining capacity, and having experienced firsthand what they did to both American and European polysilicon and solar panel manufacturing, yes, everyone else should be worried.

The Chinese do long term planning very well, and the law is whatever the emperor says it is which cuts down on red tape. They can move quite quickly when he wants to.

That is most likely not design, but a management decision to cut costs: "Why do we need those extra two interconnects?"

America is not interested to be a first world country with first world infrastructure ... and so on ...

You do not need to adapt to cold.
You wear cloth.

And you can not adapt to heat. Yo take active cooling, like water sprayed on you or shadow or wind. Either by using electricity driven things like fans or AC, or water coolers, ice makers: or you do it manually, like carrying ice blocks from the next mountain. Digging caves, living underground, having intelligent (as in your mind) cooling patterns for the house. E.g. keeping windows shadowed and closed during daytime, and when the outside temperature is definitely below the inside one: open them.

Sahara for example will be turning green due to the extra rains from warmer oceans.
You should try to tell that the rain.
As far as we know at the moment, he is not dropping on the Sahara. Neither Gobi.

You can not farm in Siberia.
There is no farm land. That is all tundra and frozen moors. Just because the moors thaw, does not make them farm land. Next winter they freeze again anyway.

And the arctic winter /polar night is as long as always, it has nothing to do with temperature: it is just DARK. ALL DAY LONG.

You can adapt to cold by wearing proper cloth.
Have a house/hut/tent with heating.

Adapting to heat: impossible.

Is a warmer planet all that bad?
Yes it is.
Because if you want to go away from your place where it is unbearable, you need a passport, a transportation, probably money. So ... how does a guy from Bangladesh get the option to settle in Canada or Siberia? Depending on time and regime: there might be dozens of borders where they simply will try to shot him, rape his wife before they shoot her and steal the 2 coins of gold he carries with him.

Mali is in the center of Africa.
El Ninho is a ocean current pattern in the pacific. It hardly has any influence on the other side of the planet.
This current El Ninho is roughly one year old.
It is completely implausible that this summer already an La Ninja pops up.
That will take 5 to 7 years. And there is no guarantee that after an El Ninho you get La Ninja. You easily get 2 in a row.
