Fixing dumbest land use in USA (parking lots).
Turning asphalt heat islands into VertiPort communities.
Solar/Geo + Storage + MicroGrid = FREE Energy Towns
GOD how STUPID are we?
Does anyone in charge even CARE?
Let me help you 'leaders'.
National building code now, MANDATING:
1) Energy storage.
2) Island-first microgrid.
3) Ground-sourced district geothermal.
4) DG (smart roof planning + 'community' solar).
Decarb made simple.

@vertiports_com@latimes@rogervincent@CushWake Exciting to see this sustainable and innovative new industry getting to SCALE!
Go USA...progress, cool tech & opportunities like these are things that ALL our fellow citizens can get behind. Politics is officially stale drama/boring; THIS is NOT boring!
NOT an @TheOnion headline...
Today at UN we learned from a peculiar speaker that solar & wind = bad (gotta make science'y stuff easy).
Evidence: China has no "windmills" (correct: 100s of 1000s of wind turbines).
Meanwhile, progress ramps IN China: https://t.co/VbYvl6vxyq
Exactly. Especially since there are lots of unintended positive consequences starting with unwinding of Big Mil. that Eisenhower warned about. The sooner USA goes the way of USSR the sooner people can move forward on their own merit. Oh wait, that's already in the Constitution...
@SecScottBessent@WSJ Just end the Fed. It was a failed experiment. The market place will determine interest rates. Banks will take less risk if they know they won't be bailed out by the Fed.
Lots of 'data'. Misses (intentionally?) mark by proffering conclusion to non-existent problem. Problem is systemic financial fraud that is USA, resulting in theft of equity of the commons, aka Renter-Nation/no Amer. Dream. Renters don't build equity; edit piece with this in mind.
For the two people reading the Washington Post on this holiday here I am writing about how the YIMBYs can chill out because the housing shortage is going to resolve itself on its own.

Should the states then in turn "forfeit" the land they've seized from the indigenous people? People who thoughtfully, and with appropriate respect to the miracle of Earth, managed to live sustainably for 10k+ years? I mean, you seem inclined to the rights of the indigenous, no?
YIMBYs of all people might be surprised to learn how little land is needed to meet housing demand, particularly if they value density. That said, yes, the feds should forfeit the land they've seized from states.
Wait, what?! Competition?
In the retail resi electricity space?! Wow. That's so what-used-to-be USA (actual biz model competition to drive actual f'ing progress from innovation).
@elonmusk@Tesla launches bid to supply electricity to British households https://t.co/jdRMZAibHy
Hmm...do 'startups' even want this proverbial moat? Perhaps to keep the Lords locked in and the people free?!! :)
In the age of AI, can startups still build a moat? https://t.co/mkgKbiQjwr
Oops!
But don't fret little, soon-to-be-renter people; friendly PE banker-folks will swoop in & buy whole asset class in tranches from banks' called loans (due to no cat ins.). #RenterNation à la 2008!

Cool, but not sure Repubs have any power nowadays. Financing for projects mostly dead until resolved.
Fyi: smart folks at @mayfieldenergy hosting related AgriPV Zoom today:

In several states, Republican lawmakers are taking the lead on an unexpected policy priority: encouraging more community solar.
