    Could be related to the term Bugonia that they made that recent movie not-exactly about. From Wikipedia:

    “Bugonia was a folk practice in the ancient Mediterranean region based on the belief that bees were spontaneously generated from a cow’s carcass.”

    So in the old days, they saw bees coming out of rotting cows (maybe these here vampar bees) and said “that’s where bees come from”





  • You can still order cheap panels and batteries online in the USA. DIY = freedom

    I didn’t read the article, but to back up what the headline says I have seen the price of batteries dramatically decrease over the last few years. For example, about 3 years ago I got some 200Ah lead gel-type batteries for my solar setup that cost over $400 each, and one of them is already failing. Last year and this year I bought LiFePO4 batteries that are higher capacity for less than the lead ones cost. The first batch was near $400 each for 300Ah LiFePO4 batteries, and this year I got more of the same for about $250 each. Lead is dead for solar. LiFePO4 is very cheap relatively now. The next step is probably Sodium-ion batteries - should be cheaper and more reliable than LiFePO4 batteries.
