So because missile defense has never worked before it can’t now?
Deterrence is only and can only be nuclear and not additional capabilities?
Look I get rolling eyes at this admin and also the SV defense tech bros but at the same time are we being contrarian for contrarian’s sake?

Is that why fighters from the failed revolutions of the 1840s saw the American civil war as liberties last stand?
Is that why Europe looked to US to preserve freedom when all lights went out?
Is that why revolutionaries from Bolivar to Ho Chi Minh quoted Thomas Jefferson?
Shove it tankie

I would simply reform the interconnection process to allow RE + BESS proliferation. Guess I’m built different.

Thing is you need a lot of energy for the former- so either way you place your bets you’d favor China - because they are still going hard on AI including offering power rate subsidies to AI companies on top of their already cheap power

My parents came from a part of the world where mob/vigilante “justice” and kangaroo courts were how things were settled.
These revolutionary LARPERs don’t know what they are advocating for.

Depends on if they have eventual plans to in-source portions or all of their mfg - could be a smart way to scale initially to build credibility before undertaking capital intensive mfg buildouts

Tbh to me I’d probably pay more for that than I’d ever pay for a car.
I’d finance that up to 50-75k. Maybe more. Assuming that it would work with routine maintenance for 15-20 years.

quick clarification: all of Africa’s imported solar WOULD be equivalent to 60% of Sierra Leone’s generation IF all of those imports went to Sierra Leone, they didn’t.
It’s a slightly useful comparison for scale I guess but also such a weird metric.

Yes because in all of human history, we weren’t allowed to make any progress in any field until all current ones were solved. That’s clearly how things work.

Remote communities in Alaska that currently run on Diesel, certain defense/emergency systems where LCOE is not the priority and nations are willing to pay the premium for always on electricity, etc
But by & large, yeah most civilian utilities in most locations should be focusing on what you list
