Did anyone know electricity can be "Virtual"??
The DOE says so: https://www.energy.gov/lpo/virtual-power-plants So let me translate this for you: DOE is discussing "Virtual Power Plants", which is simply the ability to shut your HVAC system off, turn your hot water heater off, and even drain the battery on your EV through load shifting and grid balancing. On the coldest days of the winter, when the grid does not have enough power, first they will take the liberty of draining the power out of your EV battery. NOW because you no longer have a gas car-- Guess what---you are now stuck at home. Then, because your house is all electric and "smart" they can next remotely turn off your heat and hot water. It is a great discussion... and this is simply the TIP of the iceberg. ![]() |

Toll Brothers said 35% of new home construction incorporates solar power and that figure is growing each year. Black and Decker just built a 280,000 sq ft factory in Kentucky 100% solar powered and they are selling excess power back to the ,local grid. Six Flags in Ca is going 100% solar, Home Depot is making all their stores 100% solar-the stores they already did are 100% off the grid. Chase bank regional office , 13k employees in Columbus went solar and is 85% powered by solar soon to be 100% The Grid and Ev's will be fine. I just drove up Rt 23 from Columbus to Michigan and solar panels on factories and office building are going up everywhere. As for "15 minute towns" the US is not Denmark where you can drive across the country in a an hour. The biggest real estate trend in the US is people moving from large cities out to the country. No one is going to take away cars or homes. The US has a million gov't programs and incentives to get first time buyers into homes. Last edited by whitetop; 06-28-2023 at 06:42 PM. |
