Ours was a bit pants today, but we were under a severe thunderstorm warning this afternoon. Got over an inch of rain.
But last week was much better. Shame a lot was exported at $0.025 per kWh.

You know the easy fix?
Just like COVID-19, Trump's administration will simply stop collecting and publishing GDP, inflation, and unemployment numbers.
There you go. Problem solved.
How else could he bankrupt cassinos?

Trump and his lackies will side with Russia.
But sane Americans will not.

Well, I, for one and glad you survived, even if it was only to break a tooth on a spaghetti boll.
Hope the rest of the year brings you better health.

First, the legislators killed the solar industry in Arkansas in 2023. 20 out of 27 companies closed.
Two years later, they're doing the same for wind.
Arkansas isn't self-sufficient in electricity generation. Why kill the two most cost-effective sources of power generation?
Keep Arkansas poor.

Bullshit. The highest closing price for Tesla (TSLA) all-time was $479.86, on December 17 2024. Currently the market capitalization is well under what you claim at $750.25 billion.
Perhaps you should check the facts rather than spout your opinions.

Today, April 4th Tesla at 7:59 pm EDT was down to $235.25.

Or it's time to push for massive investments in distributed generation and storage.

Don't exaggerate. It's not 50 states. Arkansas, Wyoming, and Montana don't have any Tesla premises to protest at.

Well, Putin said the same thing about Ukraine.
How that going?

So this is today's distraction from the debacle of the group chat on Signal.

More likely, it'll be Elon Musk and the spectacular ignorant team of school leavers in the QAGO DOGE who will achieve the destruction of science literacy in the USA.

Credit to Senator Mark Johnson for voting against this bill.
SB307 is the 2nd pro-utility bill sponsored by Sen. J. Dismang.
His previous bill 2023 SB395 destroyed, in the closure of at least 20 solar companies.

Every Arkansan needs to know and understand how their senator voted for this appalling bill to transfer your wealth to your utility.
Then remember how they voted to increase your electricity bills when it comes to the next election.

Yup.

Naaah. They're waiting for the bottom of the market to buy at huge discounts and become even richer as the market turns around.
But it pre-supposes there will be a turnaround.

Why?

The result is that despite increasing our solar capacity, our power bills have gone up, not down.
The "feed in" tariff is $0.025 per kWh.
Guess we'll have to get some batteries to buffer our excess daytime generation to use at night.

Good. If they really want to simultaneously stimulate job growth, energy resilience, and capacity, they should resurect 1-to-1 net metering and eliminate the capacity caps on system sizes.
Despite being "grandfathered" having had a grid tied system since 2016, Entergy put our account onto LNM.
