The issue is that if my electricity I am using now is 99% renewable and 1% gas then I am paying as if 100% is gas. That is why prices are so high. The video goes into much better detail but the keyword if you want to search yourself is &quo

Amazon PIPs happen in Japan but I don't know how the process may differ from an American PIP.

That fact your reply to a comment about having a structured way to fire someone could be called a "performance improvement plan or PIP for short" is hilarious to me. It seems you have accepted that PIPs are just a tool to fire som

TEPCO has an atrocious safety culture. the operators of the Onagawa plant (closer to the epicenter) had a very safety-first culture and it showed.
