2023 was a bad year for my weight loss as I had gotten well over 300 once again. For 2024 I dedicated myself to losing 75 pounds. I started the year at 325 and was able to end the year today at 225, with 100 pounds lost. My goal for 2025 is to hit 190.

Base told me they save people money on their electricity bills, keep the lights on during power outages and strengthen the overall power grid.

I couldn’t understand how that was possible or why everyone wouldn’t switch to Base, so I wanted to find out for myself.

I’m now a customer, investor & endorser.

I toured the factory, met the team, visited a home install and asked a whole bunch of questions.

I went on the Base website and typed in my address to see how much they could save me on my electricity bill and it said 35%. I switched right there on the spot. No special VIP pricing, no endorsement trick, I literally logged on and did it myself on the regular website right from my phone.

The one question I kept coming back to was “Save money, protect your home during outages, help support the power grid. Why wouldn’t everyone want to get Base?”

I still haven’t found an answer to that yet.

Today they're launching Base Core, a new home battery fully designed by Base and built right here in Texas.

Thank you to @WSJ for covering the launch of Base Core and our $1B Series D.

The U.S. is undergoing a foundational shift in energy demand, and traditional power generation can't scale fast enough to meet it. Meeting demand this fast calls for new technology that works alongside the grid and adds capacity where it's needed most.

Base Core does just that: one of the largest home batteries on the market at 39.2 kWh, designed and built by Base in Austin, and engineered for rapid deployment at scale.

This new capital will go toward bringing Core to more homes, expanding nationally, and hiring exceptional talent.

The Series D is led by @RibbitCap, Addition, Valor Equity Partners, and @jpmorgan’s Strategic Investment Group, with participation from @AltimeterCap, D1 Capital Partners, Sands Capital, @coatuemgmt, Layer Global, and @EnergyImpact_ . Base’s major existing investors are re-investing, including @ThriveCapital, @a16z, @lightspeedvp, Trust Ventures, @CapitalG, and more.

@Rothbirdian I got a John Boos maple one that I like a lot. It's very big and works well for everything

[Ben Dowd @thebedshow]

@scotthortonshow Prog beliefs always trump libertarianism for a prog

[Ben Dowd @thebedshow]

@Rothbirdian Peas? Yankee nonsense!

[Ben Dowd @thebedshow]

@Rothbirdian Pretty sure women replinish crazy much faster than that

@AndrewYang It's called America. I know you likely don't prioritize it in your own mind but most of us in fact do.

[Ben Dowd @thebedshow]

@ChrisDJackson @JoeBiden So it's a fiction book?

[Ben Dowd @thebedshow]

@PaleoGOP Their only principle is to just say whatever they can to get power. They have zero desire to tie things together logically.

@TallbarFIN So send them and your money to Ukraine then. Best of luck

[Ben Dowd @thebedshow]

@thatjenmonroe We aren't here to coddle and prop up leaders of countries we are literally funding who show zero respect to the United States. They should have put him immediately on a plane back to Ukraine and cut all funding.

@ElfwickDraws @BobMurphyEcon Denethor is the perfect depiction of who they believe should be in power.

[Ben Dowd @thebedshow]

@nickgillespie @reason No he isn't. He is just a prog. The same as you and your ilk

@JonahDispatch I wish they would do that to netanyahu.

@BarstoolBigCat You can't be sharing this. Don't let people retweet it. It's gotta be hidden!
