  Every state should be an electro state. One type of energy for everything, then you can continuously optimize how that energy is generated. Of course in Trump’s America there will only be corrupt, old big oil cretins desperately trying to hold on to their cash cow so it’s going to suck here but being an electrostate is the way of the future.

        But in what currency do you pay for your kWh, eh? :) (Good on those of you with solar. I have to then ask: what currency did you pay for your solar in?)
