Maybe the technical requirements at the time were a good excuse but as soon as you demonstrate the market will tolerate that why on earth would you remove it?

I’m not seeing HVDC tech on the interconnection queue. The baseline power problem isn’t going away any time soon.

I expect this kind of counter signaling to become more common in the coming years.

Idk if this perspective is naive, but complex numbers to me are most motivated by spinning things.

klysm — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 15:01:11 +0000

Schematic generation doesn’t really make sense to me because the cost of a problem going unnoticed is much more significant in hardware design than software.
