Clearly not. The point is that grid scale deployment is not easy. It's an important discussion to do it right. The criticism is genuinely stupid and just spotlights people who clearly don't understand how any of this stuff works or what the article is even talking about. You can't just slap solar panels everywhere and call it a day.

Grid scale redundancies are important. Managing load is important. Energy storage is important. Scaling up renewables and scaling down conventional generation is important. Ensuring those who cannot afford their own BTM generation can access affordable electricity is important. That's entirely what this conversation is about.

That's not at all what MIT is talking about here. This goes into detail around the challenges tied in rolling out grid scale solar in a way that aligns with supply and demand curves, and how to make sure we're able to capture overproduction so that we can use it when not enough is being produced. It's a complex shift to work out in our over 100+ year grid production structure, and has been an ongoing discussion across the energy sector. But you know...memes and shit.

Highly recommend folks check out the podcast Behind the Bastard's episodes "How The Liberal Media Helped Fascism Win" for more information on this topic.

It's unfortunately how you win these days. Campaigns in the past tried to take the high road when Trump went low. That doesn't work. So this is what we get.

He looks like he's 15.

But he seemed like such a fine young gentleman. I am shocked.

Lot of mental illness in the MAGA cult.

The ACA is good when you actually reach out to a patient care "assister" for support. You can get rates WAY lower than advertised if you work with someone who can help navigate it. I think the program is actually tremendous, but it's been made intentionally cumbersome and difficult to use by the folks trying to kill it. I've used it twice while out of work back in 2016 and again over the pandemic and had completely free plans that covered my "tier 3" prescriptions and specialist (rheumatology) appointments.
