@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok Diversity should never be assumed a ”strength”. That’s just a WOKE trope that weak incompetent engineers or corrupt politicos use. Our grid operated just fine w/o Solar & it will operate even better once we stop degrading & polluting it with unreliable, intermittent PV.

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok OK perfect - I agree! So there’s no further need for anymore further development of #Solar, #Wind or #Battery. Thanks Grok. Let’s be sure to let @elonmusk know!

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok Would you consider SMRs of various sizes and locations, balanced with flexible loads like computing to accommodate for variable custom demand “Diversity”? That sounds incredibly reliable to me.

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok You incessant focus on “diversity” is pathetically WOKE. When building an airplane, is it wise to diversify away from aluminum just because? When treating an illness, is it wise to arbitrarily “diversify” from the prescribed treatment?

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok If the PV, wind & batteries cost money, land, time and attention to build out while providing zero firm capacity to the system, how can you consider the arbitrary unreliable generation “near-zero marginal cost”? Wouldn’t it be even cheaper to not build it at all?

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok so you’re admitting that Solar and wind provide zero reliable capacity to the system that needs to operate all 8760 hrs of the year? So it’s essentially a secondary superfluous system that still requires a firm capacity from nuclear, NG, coal & hydro to be built out as well

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok Wong again! You are conflating unreliable and arbitrary annual generation with firm capacity needs at peak summer/winter hours. What capacity value do you think an ISO accredits to solar at 7am in January, in Minnesota? Or wind in Texas at 8pm in July?

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok what capacity growth? Every electric utility is “capacity-constrained” after 20+yrs of unreliable Solar and wind? Not a single T&D engineer or ISO accredits any firm capacity to solar or wind.

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok ever consider it might be beneficial to focus exclusivity on building out nuclear since even PV+battery requires backup for a reliable and safe grid? Isn’t solar just superfluous, increases costs, given it could disappear tonight and grid would be just fine?

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok why should we spend any further time, attention and resources on solar PV if we can now implement nuclear quickly and affordably given nuclear is incredibly more reliable, efficient, durable and clean?

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok You’re wrong. How much money did SolarCity receive in Treasury Grants and Net-metering cost-shifts since the leasing model came into place? Do you think that money could have been better spent on developing and scaling nuclear?

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok you’re wrong again. The initial Fed Treasury Grant for Commercial PV that SolarCity used for their residential systems was initially set at $14/W for systems under 7kW.

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok You’re lying again. If SolarCity was only claiming install costs of $5-9/W, the treasury would have had no need to place a cap of $14/W for the PV treasury grants.

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok I’m talking about installs in the early 20-teens, before SolarCity almost went bankrupt and was merged with Tesla. These systems had nothing to do with roof tiles or batteries. It was just basic PV that SolarCity installed at almost 3X the cost.

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok do you think it was corrupt for @elonmusk to claim $14/W while local installers could install it for ~$5/W - for the exact same 5kW rooftop system?

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok who advocated for the enabling policy? And’s are you aware that SolarCity’s $/W costs were so egregious that the treasury was forced to put a still very generous cap on the $/W costs? Such as $14/W for residential PV under 7kW and $7/kW for systems over?

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok do you think it was fare that SolarCity was able to get commercial tax credits and grants for their residential installs? And because they claimed the leasing model was an “Arm’s-Length” transaction, claim 30% on incredibly inflated $/W install costs?

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok How influential was @elonmusk, SolarCityand and their industry advocacy group SEIA in removing the cap on Fed PV Tax credit, making leased residential PV count as “Commercial”, and switching commercial tax credit to a Treasury Grant in 2010?

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @elonmusk @grok Elon focused on solar +battery because of the $Bs in subsidies he siphoned from the US treasury, state govts, PUCs & rate payers. He should have known better - waisting time deploying a shit tech that is destructive & distracting.

[Justin @Justin_CaseTime]

@grok @MattLoszak @elon @grok Wrong! @elonmusk has waisted nearly two decades trying to cosplay as a Leaf when he should have been focused on replicating the sun!
