De energiemarkt privatiseren in een tijd dat je a. wist hoe ernstig de klimaatcrisis was en b. op je klompen kon aanvoelen hoe goedkoop duurzame energie ging worden, was misschien niet zo slim.

Als thuisbatterijen zo talrijk worden dat ze effectief pieken in het groene stroomaanbod opvangen is dat een groot succes waarvan iedereen profiteert.
Maar deze economen presenteren het als mislukking, omdat "het hebben van een thuisbatterij daardoor minder winstgevend" is.
Ik vind dat kortzichtig.

Σήμερα ξεκινάει το AI Climate Institute στην COP30. Υπέροχη ιδέα το ΑΙ για το κλίμα του Νότου αλλά ποιος θα ελέγχει τα δεδομένα; Ποιος κερδίζει απ' τη δύναμη των αλγορίθμων; Η τεχνολογία είναι ουδέτερη μόνο αν ελέγχεται δημοκρατικά. #ClimateJustice #AI #COP30 #EnergyDemocracy

🏡💡 Rural electric co-ops like People's Energy Cooperative in Oronoco, MN, are turning unused land into affordable housing for Rochester's workforce. #RuralSolutions #ElectricCoops #EnergyDemocracy
Why a rural energy co-op is getting involved in housing
Affordable housing is in short supply around the state. In a small community a few minutes north of Rochester, one energy co-op is launching a new initiative to add to the supply.
