Excited to partner with @basepowerco as they launch in Chicagoland. More than 500,000 Chicagoans have dealt with outages just this summer, all while energy bills keep going up. Base is trying to do something about both.
For $95, they install a home battery that can keep your power on during an outage for up to 36 hours—and help save on your monthly energy bills.I’ll be honest, when they first told me, I was skeptical too. Then I met the team, saw how it worked, and wanted to be part of bringing it to Chicago. I spent a lot of years covering first here. Now it’s time to cover home.
Chicago saves on Base. Chicago’s safe on Base. Learn more: https://t.co/dF194LQFIa

This isn’t really a surprise…many many people don’t like politicians.
But it’s a surprise seeing it come out as the underlying reason being stated to AOC from some of her supporters who also voted Trump.

Enjoyed chatting with @ZachBDell of @basepowerco recently in Houston.
Texans have experienced significant reliability issues with power of late due to increased extreme weather events such as Hurricane Beryl.
Base is helping homeowners get home a reliable, low cost battery backup, with an interesting biz model.

"The cost to create power has gone down pretty dramatically over the last decade... but the cost to move it—transmission and distribution—has gone up. If you've lived anywhere in the country, your power has gotten more expensive." @ZachBDell, CEO @basepowerco
