The name you are looking for is Residential Time-of-Use. A lot of customers are not aware that their utility company offers Residential Time-of-Use rate plans. Some even offer multiple options, but many do not advertize it. If you are not subscribed to a Residential Time-of-Use plan, you are over paying.

1000% I get to see some of the budgets for projects we are involved in and they are pathetic (IMO) given the importance of what we do.

I think there is a big misunderstanding here. The power grid suffers from a distribution problem not a production problem. The concern with households with EVs is getting the power from the power plants to the houses. During high demand, the powerlines overheat. It’s a delicate power regulation dance to keep the flow at maximum capacity without having fully shutdown any power routes in order to cool. If you do not, you will lose the lines which means a significant downtime for that path.

Datacenters are getting direct lines from the production sites. I believe that for some datacenters, retired nuclear power plants are being spun up in order to serve them exclusively.

SOURCE: Grid management is one of the things my firm specializes in.

EDIT: Believe it or not, households with solar panels that feed back into the grid can be a problem sometimes because the unexpected capacity in the lines can also overheat the lines and hampers the ability of the utility company to regulate lune temps. If you are doing solar, consider adding battery banks to catch the excess.

Enforced by who? They can literally ignore subpoenas without consequences.

Conservatives only see the ultra rich (even when trans) as human. Fuck everyone else.

Pro-gun + Kleptocracy is an unwise mix.

Yeah, I’m jaded and cynical. Can you blame me?

As far as threats go, I would swap FBI and Hackers.

Nintendo looking shady on this one.

I agree. Removing that perk by making them all unisex is another thing that will make it a miserable experience for all. The idea is for it to be horrible enough for the TERFs to back off and the laws to change.

“Chat, the billionaires are acting super sus while hungry New Yorkers are in need of a carry. So let’s flip the script. Spend your Bezos bucks here and you’ll help the needy. Let’s goooo!!!”

Make all WC unisex. No physical change other than signage. Will this fix the problem? No, it will make.a royal fucking mess of it all and hopefully press politicians to reverse their trans phobic laws.

Chaotic Bastard is exactly right. Everyone thinks its geese or swans, and although they are truly bastards, roosters are raving rage filled lunatics.

Makes sense. Shit comes out of both.

He is an avid watch collector.

It is always a con, a grift, a scam, fraud, or blatant corruption from the GOP and the daughterfucker in chief.

So that would make Starbucks coffee vulgar. Yeah…that tracks.
