We are going to live in a world where the the marginal cost of electricity is very close to zero
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Just a reminder that the last two government shutdowns happened under President Trump, with Republicans in control of both chambers. These people cannot govern, and they need Democrats to bail them out.

This is how it’s done. May we hope the United States will be handing out such medals in a few years
The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

Probable cause is legally sufficient to obtain an indictment, but DOJ policy requires more–evidence sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction. That means proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Comey case fails this test. Here’s the manual.

It absolutely matters here that Pritzker was effective at sounding the alarm and plainly stating this would be unconstitutional in a profoundly radical and fundamental way, and showing he could rally practical popular opposition, which then gets spun as backing out over "legal headaches."
