1. Absolutely none of what you've said invalidates either my point that adding pumped hydro alone cuts costs by hundreds of billions for an energy system, nor my broader point that it's stupid to talk about the costs of energy systems by looking at the costs of running one of solar and Li alone
2. None of what you've said is a reason not to do pumped hydro. Pumped hydro can store GWh easily, plants last 50 to 100+ years, and cost per kWh is very low despite refurb costs etc. Should it be done thoughtfully? Obviously. Can it be done everywhere? Obviously not. But once again, adding pumped hydro alongside Li BESS drops energy system costs by hundreds of billions, showing that any analysis of an energy system that says "look how much it costs if we run an energy system using solar and Li BESS alone!" is idiocy.

Gas prices are up globally because orange jesus made the middle east situation that much worse. It's also laughable how suddenly they care very much about the plight of the Iranian people while simultaneously cheering at masked men snatching people from the streets and transporting them to concentration camps.

I double checked your figures and you are correct. You know what's also funny? $5.25 trilion was collected in 2025.

In 2024 $4.92 trillion was collected.

How do you feel about you tax increase courtesy of Trump?
