We need to get away from the drill-and-burn caveman-type of energy generation. <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/NuclearPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPower</span></a> simply preserves monopolists' control of the energy markets. The most sustainable way to generate power is locally and in a distributed way. Every industry and ever home needs to be 100% self sufficient, no power lines needed (except locally). Stop mining, ban drilling, and jack up costs of greenhouse gas emissions to regulate pollution out of business...

AI6YR Ben<p>Anyone in disaster preparedness planning for their community should take note of this paragraph of how this microgrid works: "The experience of regularly operating the system in islanded mode will be crucial when the next natural disaster shuts down the main grid. During such extreme events, the connected businesses will serve the entire community by providing refrigeration for medicines and perishables, power to recharge smartphones and laptops, a community kitchen, and a laundry, just to name a few essential services.
