Massive grids will become unnecessary as renewables are deployed in regions. We can make region or metro grids with more local energy storage.
This will be awesome.

Today on Volts: Swedish tech entrepreneur Jonas Birgersson was once known in his country as "broadband Jesus" for his efforts in spreading decentralized, low-cost broadband access. Now, he wants to bring the same decentralized, peer-to-peer revolution to the electricity grid.
Making the electricity grid work like the internet
Jonas Birgersson joins me to explain how "packet-switching" for electrons can lead to energy abundance and grid resilience.

Has any reporter done a deep dive into two of the most powerful people in Washington DC who seem determined not to use that power or even comment on current events?
Mike Johnson and John Thune could stop virtually all of the current chaos simply by putting their hands back on the wheel.

Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state
The woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week served on the board of her son’s school, which linked to documents encouraging parents to monitor ICE and directing them to training. https://cnn.it/49yoNEa

With Trump as POTUS, “states rights” conservatives have been exposed as thoroughly & completely full of shit. Posers who turtled when their purported pet principle came to their doorstep. Trump tested them, they bowed. Acquiescing to the federal will du jour time & time again. In short: frauds

Amazing, a Ford worker called Trump a “pedophile protector” during his visit to an assembly plant in Michigan today.
In return, Trump, who has failed to release the Epstein files, yelled, “fuck you” and flipped off the worker.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

Absolutely right.
And I think it's especially true in this case as ICE has been a magnet for thugs who couldn't cut it in the military or normal law enforcement but desperately want to be respected as A Troop.
This is why it's particularly effective when actual veterans show up to mock them.

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.
