I remember reading somewhere that as of the start of the US-Israel led war, total global oil demand was reduced by 1.7 million barrels a day because of EV tech and renewables. This war will only accelerate demand destruction of petrochemicals in general.

The next step? Make all corporations pay for the disposal or recycling of single-use packaging. Charge them a 1000% tax per pound of plastics used, and if they attempt to pass on the costs to the consumer, charge them the equivalent of 10 million Kuwaiti dinar per day of using the packaging.

This is how we get to a post-scarcity society, which is entirely possible in our lifetimes.

All countries and/or regions should have domestic renewable energy production, including battery storage.

I’m curious, do these solar kits also have built in battery storage or not? I know one of the units one of the companies mentioned in the article does.

I think it would be smart if all the kits had a battery built in, then people who had these kits would have an emergency backup for cell phone charging during a blackout or a natural disaster. During normal times, the battery backup could help them ease their power bills from peak consumption.

I hope the same thing starts happening with batteries.

That will put the excess manufacturing capacity in their markets to good use.

Something something bribery backfiring. Something something Dark Side.

I hope that the UK is also pushing for accelerated BESS for households.

Localizing production of fertilizer using green energy? Winner winner chicken dinner!
