You have to understand that your freedom ends when another one freedom is reach!

you home is your home, right, but you power grid is connect to everyone power grid. if you mess with your grid in a bad way, you risk causing issues to everyone grid or even fires. Those systems need to be well planed and certified. For big setups, that require lot of paper work, for these small systems, they are simplifying the setup, as long you follow those rules. So if you buy a certificate system, you are good, if you build your own, also good. If you mess up, you can blame the producer of the certified system on the first and have the full blame on the second

So if your home is connected to the grid, you have to follow rules, you can't block your panel energy from interfering with the remaining grid.
I can't also build a cell phone tower in my home, as there is no way to block those signals from interfering with other towers

Also, if your home is disconnected from the grid, THEM you have the freedom to add whatever you want, you do not need this special permit (of course always within the limits that may exist, you can't install a home nuclear reactor, even if outside the grid!!)

Exactly that was one of the problems of the Spain/Portugal blackout, with power going down in some parts, most existent solar and wind setups follow the grid within certain limits. When those limits were crossed, they do what is safe and shutdown...no power in, then no power out!
Of course it end making the problem even worse and cascading to the next system. They can be equipped with ways to keep producing and adding inertia to the grid, but almost none had that because no one expected a so big problem and of course, all that costs money! Add that the lacked of special monitoring and tripwires to disconnect entire regions and limit the problem from cascading to the next one made 2 countries and a small region of France without power between a couple of minutes to around 30h

and rename the current Sun to Sun of America, because... who cares, probably because his small ego

Sun produce energy
Wall sockets are cheap

Long cord isn't that long and even if you waste 5% of the energy, that is all "free" energy...in a 5 years ROI, add 5% ... a couple of weeks at best IF the cord is really long!!

Not everything needs battery, this isn't much to store the energy but help reduce costs, you will use that energy directly if you work from home, have HVAC, energyt pump, eletrical water heating or simply do the laundry during that time. Sure, you can add a house wide battery, those exist, but this is simple and cheap enough that pay itself in a short period and add a constant saving to your bill

Sure, but what he means is that is a political and economical decision, technically you can simply shutdown wind/solar stations and not sell with negative prices.

The reason is exactly promote the storage of energy and push constant energy techs to adapt and reduce (nuclear is the biggest example, France is updating their centrals to be able to increase the speed they can decrease and increase power generation)

One of the best examples that the prices aren't related to the real cost of production of energy right now was Spain/Portugal being allowed to have their electrical power prices decouples from the rest of Europe during the high gas prices a few years ago... they both have very high renewable energy production and less dependent of gas and have weak interconnects with the rest of Europe... So forcing the Europe electrical prices on them was absurd and they managed to be allowed to be decoupled from the managed grid prices. Of course that lack of interconnect also end bite Spain and Portugal in the ass when the blackout happen, but that is another history.

So electrical prices right now are set high because gas, coal and nuclear need it... and we accept because when is night and no wind, we need those to keep energy flowing. With more storage, prices can go down because we can charge then when production is high and need less traditional sources during peak/nights

Not just about cost, Lithium have better capacity both by size and kg, but for home energy storage, that isn't a important factor. Lithium batteries are more dangerous and with limited charge cycles... and this is important for a home energy storage... a cell phone burning is dangerous, imagine a several KW storage system!! Recharge cycles limit the lifespan of the battery and require better control to try to avoid it.

Alternative batteries are bigger with less charge (again , not a issue in a home) , but are usually much safer, with much higher recharge cycles limits and much higher lifespan. so they are not only safer but cheaper right now and much more cheaper in the long run

Touché! :D

Throw both multiple Trumpistan politics in to a arena, with a bribe in the center, only the last surviving politics will be able to clain it!!
Plot twist, when grabbing the bribe, a trapdoor opens and he enters a new arena, with a new set of politics

call it "Obese Games", because they always want more!

i like it, i will unilaterally rename it to Trumpistan
I can also do a big and bad signature too!!

Sure, politics is politics... it always have games and rhetoric... but in my country, science is not politics, science is science based on facts and current knowledge (even if later it may be wrong).
Vaccines a defined by medics to help save lives, not politics
A journal or TV, while they always may have political opinion, try to be neutral, showing the news and facts, leaving the opinion to their own separated "opinion panels". So while the opinion articles are very different between the newspapers, the event is shown mostly the same way in all newspapers. facts, not opinions.
Doing home renovation is about that, not if the material used or solution is woke or not. Buying a car is about each one needs and available money. School program is defined by teachers, not politics. Religion is that, not politics, as is helping others!

Even this topic... while bsky grow may have part political foundations, it is not only that. I created a twitter account when it show up and mostly never used it... even before Musk arriving. Did the same in bsky. New platforms have spikes in growing and not everyone stays active. So even if a part can be political, not every reasons have to be about politics

and yes, i can talk about politics in my country... we had a period were we couldn't, but now we are free to do it. And still, not everything is political. I do not know the political bias of each person around me, everyone have their own opinion and aren't shoving it to everyone around, no, they keep it for themselves, even for most people during elections times

Most people i know, do not care about the other people political opinions, everyone knows that it is a personal choice. I do not care about your political opinion and care less if you support one side or the other

ps:
So as you start as being rude, for some reason, lets finish with this:
>chickenshit little country you live
why do you assume that my country is little, worthless? are you in need to claim that your country is BETTER than others?! Have we a inferiority syndrome hidden in USA people mind, that they refuse to accept and have to show how BIG and IMPORTANT they are to hide their own insecurity?

You Americans take everything to politics... not everything is related to politics and should not be linked to it in anyway... yet you are doing it all the time

No need for military expansionism to end declining, what you need is expense, lack of innovation and competition... yes, war can help too, but that is usually in the expense issue

Too much wasted money in luxury or war, while give healthy short term, don't scale and in a long term bleed the country fortune to others
Innovation, if other countries have newer ideas, your core business can be replaced and that make a long chain reaction in the economy, it may take many years, but it will corrode your power
Competition, if you are powerful, you are also too expensive, other can out cost you. Sure, tariffs and nationalism can help in the short term, but again in long term if you don't balance things, you will be hit. Tariffs work both ways and nationalist only work if you have money, if not, you accept whatever you can get. USA may have many rich people, but also a huge amount of poor people. The rich people will not sustain the country business and competition gets more and more market

Without money, all military power will slowly degrade. Yes, you can still dream you are powerful, like UK still thinking they matters in anyway, but trying to fake it just drains even more your limited money, with little success

If politics do not matter, go visit Cuba!

have you checked also!?!

your president, your news, your billionaires, your poor and/or homeless, your rat race culture, power, money, guns, racism, not pay people but require tips, knowledge about other people are all good propaganda. But even ignoring all that, price/benefit, you still get much better deals elsewhere

yes, i know you believe that USA the best place in the world... but trust me, it isn't. Not that is bad, but again, there are much better places
