#109 - Tinkering with the End of Days

Eric Myklebust believes each building can be its own power grid. When asked why that might be necessary he will not cop to believing in the end of days that is the climate crisis. Talking about the facts of the matter, as opposed to projections; we can say for sure that less pollution is a good thing, solar panels can be very useful to that end. But the hurdle to green energy isn’t storage, it’s inverting the power to make it work with an AC grid. Which brings us back to the first thing Eric wants us all to do - the developed world is on the cusp of a major paradigm shift as we electrify our transport and pivot to renewables, so why not overturn the results of the current war and convert our homes to DC power supplies without relying central generation?
