With the 'canes coming through here at regular intervals, I set back a 100hp JD power unit. I need the gen and electronics. Three phase so I could run my shop also.
And then I look at this.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/60-KW-DIESE...cAAOSwNGNfaLEN

Renewable energy is cripplingly expensive, hopelessly unreliable, massacres wildlife, destroys landscapes, destabilizes the grid, harms indigenous peoples, and causes climate change. But apart from that it’s great, says a meticulous review published in the scientific journal Energies by a team of Irish and U.S.-based researchers.
But it will make grim reading for Joe Biden, Boris Johnson, Greta Thunberg, Al Gore, the Prince of Wales, David Attenborough, the Pope, Leo Di Caprio and the rest of the rag bag of public figures who have sought to burnish their caring, eco-friendly credentials by championing ‘renewable energy’ as the best way to save the planet.

A lot of the car companies think the end is in sight. The bit below is from my morning newsfeed:
Mercedes intends to phase out manual transmissions, reduce the number of platforms it makes and slash the use of piston engines in the models that remain 70% by 2030.
By 2030, Mercedes expects to be selling more than 20 all-electric models and 25 plug-in hybrids.
The company will need both types of vehicles to meet European Union carbon dioxide emission limits. A report released earlier this week by environmental research group Transport & Environment described Mercedes as currently lagging in its effort to meet the EU’s 95 g/km CO2 target by the end of 2021.
The report caution that hybrids are a stopgap on the way to meeting the EU’s overall carbon emission goals. That means that the future of piston power even when paired with electric drive is likely to fade eventually.
With electrification comes the demise of manual gearboxes, which are largely irrelevant in electric drivetrains. Manuals account for only about 6% of Daimler’s entire transmission output today, with applications largely relegated to the company’s smallest models.

Apparently Mercedes doesn't have a Brietbart subscription, lol.

There are regions in the sw where during the spring to fall solar production has effectively dropped the whole sale price to near ZERO per kWh, they're dumping power. Plug something in and use it.

What a Dumb F
Has no idea how to use his car, would help if he read the operator's manual...
Those cars tell you where the closest charging station is how far you can go...
Read the manual...DFWe have invented the world; WE see
