Tax wealth and it doesn't matter. Same idea as property tax. You hold assets, they get taxed. Cover as many types of assets as reasonably possible.

I'm thinking of this more for folks who don't have panels already, but absolutely this could add capacity too. The price of panels is dirt cheap now and battery costs are plummeting, so it won't be long before the highest cost of this is permitting and installer. Make that DIY and it's very cheap.

It feels like this could become a cheap decentralized option for charging vehicles within a few years. It could skip the permitting and installer costs. Anyone comfortable with mounting a few panels to a wall or roof could charge up at least their daily commute. Fast charging stations for the rest.

It's got an DC->AC->DC conversion loss, but perhaps this doesn't even matter much.

When the margin is this small, you can blame any electoral factor you want. Weather, closure of a poll early, anything will be a true statement. It's not even clear if this was the actual vote count.

I don't disagree. Though states already do have mini-femas for smaller responses. The idea is that FEMA only steps in for major disasters.

I think the policy argument is that states could do it better / more efficiently and they could still be funded by grants.
That's far from a proven assertion, I don't buy it.
Even if true, it would probably take years for most states to build up the capacity to handle this.

Bitcoin is estimated to be 1/3 of that. And it will drop in consumption exponentially over time due to halving. I'm not in favor of Bitcoin and it's power usage is in my opinion 100% waste, but it's not the only part of computing that has an environmental impact.
