The old grid is sclerotic. It's time to build anew.
In this essay, I outline a vision for TW scale solar macrogrids that can handle the coming demand for compute & the electrification of everything.
We're convening a group of solar pirates at Presidio Bitcoin to make this vision a reality. If these crazy ideas resonate with you, please apply to join us.

Solar + storage has crossed the tipping point as the cheapest source of electricity. And it's only getting cheaper.
I’m going to have to disagree on this statement. It reads well on a website but in practice solar is no where near close just from a pure efficiency standpoint of being able to compete with dense hydrocarbons for power.

I thought solar has come a long way, but batteries still have a long way to go in both cost and efficiency.

Seen some shit in my time working at big utility, unfortunately I can only help list problems. Lots of perceived problems are really just symptoms of even deeper problems.
