This is primarily a hijack detection framework with flexible operations on detection. How to actually "neutralize" the attack is up to the operator and there isn't really anything new offered in that regard from what I can te

You're punishing the wrong people, why is that difficult to understand? The companies that operate grids are not the free riders. By having idiotic legislation that allows solar owners to free ride the grid, you only punished the utili

Stop confusing batteries with wind/solar prices. Until the battery problem is fixed, overbuilding doesn't do jack because you have nowhere to store the bursts. Stop talking about wind and solar prices and just look at the price of

Other than a change in 'economic conditions', the rest of those issues can be avoided with adequate business research. Just because most technologists don't doesn't mean it's actually such an unknown.
