    Could you imagine the revolution for our environment and society at large if we mandated solar panels on every tall building, every household and every street light?

    But instead America is doubling down on gas and coal while giving all the cheap energy to AI CEOs in the Epstein Files.

      Could you imagine the revolution for our environment and society at large if we started to build the solar farms instead of mandating other people to do our bidding?

      I’ll hopefully show my small demo solar setup soon. It’s been so much trial and error, but I’m getting close :)
