RFK Jr. obviously.

Just as a Very Stable Genius assumes power again and plans to install anti vaccine nut job and brain worm host RJK Jr. to be in charge of the nation's health and "go wild" (verbatim quote).

Our future's so bright we gotta wear shades.

If a set of batteries is supplying 500MW of power to the grid that's not electricity that can be used in the same manner as, say, a 500MW coal plant?

But when they do it's a doozy!

Tell that to France in 2022 - their nuclear capacity dipped to 55%.

The sun won't run out (for at least 1 billion years) and therefore wind won't run out.

Wind power is one of forms of power generation that effects birds the least. I'm not sure what forms of electricity you want to switch to that is 100% benign.

Except if they had said 50GWh you would have no idea how many nuclear reactors it could displace on the grid. Is that 10 GW for 5 hours or 1 GW for 50 hours?

Since the purpose (at least in California which is the #1 state for these batteries) is to soak up excess renewable power during the middle of the day and release it later, the assumption is the batteries are large enough to be able to accomplish that.

Not a French one in 2022 - their nuclear reactors had a whopping 55% capacity factor that year.

When comparing it to another source of power generation GW makes sense. As long as it has enough capacity to soak up excess solar from during the day.

Battery prices are expected to plunge 50% by 2026 so this buildout will accelerate.

New cheaper chemistries are coming out quickly. Natron Energy claims 50,000 charge cycles for their Sodium-Ion batteries which means their batteries could last many decades.

I still remember being told 2 decades ago no power grid could have more than 30% wind + solar on it or it would fail.

Batteries will get us to 100% if we want to.

The plural of anecdote is not data, but I rented a Hyundai Ioniq 5 for a weekend to drive San Francisco -> Reno -> San Francisco drive and the charging experience at Electrify America was unsatisfactory to say the least.

At my first stop in Sacramento, out of 11 charging stations only ONE was working, according to someone else there. Since I tried a few before I got one to work I have no reason to doubt that was not the case.

Coming back in Truckee, out of 4 chargers 2 were unoccupied and I was unable to charge on those 2. Finally someone left and I got it working there on the third attempt. It took me far longer to get to the point of charging than to charge. Once it starts charging the car charges quickly.

It could have been worse. A guy in a Chevy Bolt tried to use the same charger I first tried and couldn't get it to unlock the charger cable. He was on the phone with Electrify America for over 20 minutes trying to get his car back.

My father has a Tesla model 3 and takes frequent long trips and says the Tesla chargers just work.

At least I don't live in a MAGA bubble and make wild claims like " a set of charges that no one in the history of the country has ever been charged with?"

Only someone who only listens to MAGA [social] media would make a ridiculous, and easily disproved claim like that, and then turnaround and call me an idiot because I discovered Judge Aileen Cannon also donates to political causes.

That has already happened. Judge Aileen Cannon donated $100 to governor Ron DeSantis in 2018.

Doing the math that is nearly 3X what judge Merchan donated.

I haven't heard ANYONE - I MEAN ANYONE bring this donation up nor have I seen any mention in the MSM.

The donation doesn't bother me. The problem is that she is totally incompetent and/or biased is what bothers me.

His own CFO, Allen Weisselberg pled guilty to the same exact charge previously! This is verbatim from the indictment:

The defendants, in the County of New York and elsewhere, on or about April 11, 2016, with the intent to defraud, made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise, to wit, a Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement 2015, and defendants' intent to defraud included an intent to commit another crime and to aid and conceal the commission thereof.

"How about when the judge donates to the Biden campaign and"

It was a grand total of $35 and has already been cleared!

Is this all you have?

In the meantime, the FL judge making comically absurd rulings in favor of President P01135809 has her job thanks to the defendant!!!

How do you distinguish "lawfare" from a group of criminals facing consequences for their criming?

It's not unprecedented!

His own CFO, Allen Weisselberg, pleaded guilty to the breaking the same exact law for a different crime!

From the indictment:

"The defendants, in the County of New York an elsewhere, on or about April 11, 2016, with the intent to defraud, made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise, to wit, a Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement 2015, and the defendants' intent to defraud included an intent to commit another crime and to aid and conceal the commission thereof."
