Large houses in hot climates don't have enough roof space to accommodate the number of panels you would need to displace grid power. Using obsolete panels that generated less power when they were new is only going to make the problem worse.

Leaning into unreliable power sources when demand is increasing is just going to make any supply issues worse.

Someone posted what they pay for electricity in California and what their buy back rate is and their rates are insane.

No, it's not that easy. Because you have two different offices to agree, the political office in the Ministry of Defense, and the military office Direktion (directorate) 6.

It does not work that way. The "CTO" would be Generalmajor (Major General) Hermann Kaponig, as the commanding officer of the Cybertruppen (Cyber corps). But he has no right to purchase anything, because this would be the task of the Ministry of Defense. On the other hand, the Ministry of Defense would not buy any software the Direktion (directorate) 6 does not condone.

Yes, and one solution proposed was to make DST voluntary for businesses, which I pointed out was nonsense, as opening times are already voluntary for businesses, nevertheless they all sychronized out of necessity.

You don't solve the problem at hand. Businesses right now already have the right to open whenever they see fit. But they all synchronized on a 9-5 schedule. Why is that? Because customers have to know when to expect businesses to be open, and businesses have to know when to expect their business partners to be open, so they can schedule accordingly.

Time zones are how customers and businesses are synchronized, if they are not immediate neighbors. Time zones are a result of the invention of telegraphs and railways, for the first time making it necessary to know the local time of people you can't just walk over and ask. And as long as you don't abolish long distance communication and travel, the need for time zones will continue.

DST does not solve it, but makes it worse. If you want that additional bright hour in the evening, it will cost you that hour in winter mornings.

So you don't mind getting up in absolute darkness during Winter times and not having any sunlight for the next two hours?

Brazil is around the Equator, where there is basically no difference in daylength between summer and winter times.

DST is for countries outside the Tropics, where the time of Sunrise and Dawn differs greatly between the saisons.

It makes sense for Brazil to have no DST. It makes sense for Minnesota to have it.

As a parent of two, I never experienced it. Children adapt much more easily than parents.

We introduced time zones because locals having their own time was too confusing. Or do you know from memory if Peru, IL has CST or moved to EST during summer for longer evenings?

Because parents have to be in office at 9 am.

I don't give a shit if some Russian/Kazakh/Malaysian bot farmer wants to take over my phone.

So you do no banking on your phone? Unlikely.

For the 99% of people that do in fact use a phone for banking, protection from lower level criminals is invaluable. For most people there is real financial loss possible from a phone being taken over, at the very least to monitor banking access mechanisms.

While your hypothesis looks nice at first glance, it has a glaring hole: Experiments with turbine powered cars had ended before the first NOx legislation. The Chrysler Turbine Car dates from 1963. At the same time in the UK, Rover debuted the P6, which was engineered to host the Rover gas turbine, which was tested in a Rover P4 as the T2, T3 and T4 prototypes, but it never came to pass. Then you have some experiments with gas turbine powered race cars until 1968. The Motor Vehicle Air Pollution Control Act was enacted in 1965.

The experiments to put gas turbines into cars for sale ended two years before NOx mandates were enacted. They were continued for race cars, which aren't affected by the mandates, but fizzled out a few years later.
