This is why I've been against individual homeowner solar subsidies. It's basically a subsidy for upper middle class homeowners at the expense of renters and homeowners with less capital or on a site ill suited for solar. As more and more homes either disconnect from the grid or draw from it less, the per-kW delivery charges have to increase as grid maintenance is a roughly fixed cost. Subsidies should go to utilities or municipalities to build grid scale solar and wind farms that pass the renewable savings on to everyone. If you want your own off-the-grid capable solar farm on your roof, pay for it on your own dime.

Electoral politics is for harm reduction, but it won't solve our problems as long as all we can do is vote for the least worst candidate. We need to be building real communities on the ground for mutual aid and direct action where appropriate. We should use the state where it is a useful tool, route around it where it is unhelpful or inactive, and fight it where it is against us. We don't owe any party or politician our loyalty.

If you're in NYC, Chicago, you also need a garage (probably a space heater too) because you're not going to be able to charge those things at most charging stations when it's -10F outside.

I live in Boston, where it gets considerably colder than NYC and have no issues charging outside /w an outdoor L2 device mounted to the side of my house. I also spend most weekends in the winter in the mountains in Maine, where it gets very cold. Also no issues with outdoor L2 charging.

JFC, are you still trolling people with nonsense? Two decades? I guess being a person who barley got an AS, then ending up a TV Repair man makes you sad and you just take it out on others with your trolling and rage baiting. It's a really unhealthy way to try and make your self feel like you have value.

Thanks to conservatives.

no, government money is correct.
The government dictates how it's spent, it's government money. Only the dimmest of the dim would think government money does come from a tax pool.
And saying tax payer money is too broad any conversation the requires details because which tax pool it comes from matters.
