Anything but cheap solar and wind... solar executives need to buddy up with the right people. Get corrupt or lose.

Commission your own solar and battery system. There is no reason to be a renter anymore. Stop giving other people power over you.

Search hybrid inverter and rack mount batteries.

I already have put my money where my mouth is at home, even though it was only possible due to the federal rebates at the time. Most people don't have land, and can only be served by utility-scale solar, or inadequate balcony installations at best.

Will Prowse has a very active, high quality Youtube channel about DIY solar where he talks about all things solar: generation, safety, cabling, inverters, batteries and more.

I am all for this decision. We need to continue pushing towards nuclear.

yes but thorium reactors, not plutonium

once you learn about how much safer and controllable thorium reactors are you'll never vote for plutonium again

here's a great PBS SpaceTime on it
