Hmm, that's a solid argument. Thanks.
What I didn't include in my original argument is distributed, off-grid capture of electrons. I would still argue that a national security priority should be increasing the share of EVs and distributed PV generation. If every person, and Amazon distribution center for example, could go off-grid and continue at least partial capacity.. that would be a good thing, wouldn't it?
- gjsman-1000 2y agoA "microgrid," as you are describing, could be fantastic as long as businesses or individuals aren't unreasonably constrained by their microgrid's production capability (or misguided attempts to restrict capacity in the name of climate change / equity / misguided policy here). But in theory, if all power was locally sourced and physically separate, the resiliency would be incredible.

This should be a goal for natsec. As in, actual Defense Budget should be applied to this goal. This is not theoretical, it is TRL 9. None of our soldiers die. We can actually do this starting today. It vastly improves our national security. The only thing that prevents this is our fossil fuel economic inertia.
