Musk is going to produce a battery that can power your house. Both Toyota and Nissan say their batter packs can power your house.

With that kind of battery, you can charge the battery with solar, or use grid power in the middle of the night when electricity prices are lowest. This could massively reduce everyone's electricity bills. It also means we're not far off of everyone actually being off the grid if they so desire.

A large factor in the viability of these projects is the cost and how it compares to that power provided by the utilities. Solar panels can't compete against the utilities and thats why the progressive fascists insist on wasting subsidies on them. I doubt that these will be competitive either.

Solar is outrageously expensive. Let's talk about coal fired power plants for cheap power.

and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)
