Energy generation is part of the problem. Storage is another part. All renewable energy sources are not consistent.

There are peaks and troughs in generation. I have seen solar companies cutting of panel areas from grids given the lack of demand during that hour. Storage at grid and home level has the potential to disrupt the dynamic of the energy market.

Today, a select few companies control vast amount of energy supply this control needs to be broken for better future.

Nice Work,

I would love some integrations with PKM tools like Obsidian, Notion etc.

That would also help you improve adoption, given the use case is niche.

This is very recent change. There should be some benefit for the company too.

I know a company which hired the best MIT PhD but they also hired the best IIT PhDs for the work. Both of them do equally good. But the IIT PhDs are more cost effective and hence they expanded the program in India.

Its BYD vs Tesla.

BYD is making progress on the sub $20K car with 500 km plus range.

What matters for India is will any of these companies enable local battery manufacturing capabilities.

No wonder Buffet bet on BYD.

Personally feel its double edge sword right now.

Many mergers indicate the weaknesses of the US banking system. Accelerating the non-USD assets and flow of cash into those instruments.

Non mergers will lead to defaults, forcing government to Print further

The real question is, will this lead to reduction in cost?

If yes, I hope they open-source it so that the fight against global warming can gain some momentum across the globe.

Similar is the case from people who can't afford. They are not asking you to give it for free. What they want is that the information accessible at affordable prices. The current situation is an ABC book either cost $10-$20-$30 or they can get it pirated. there is no middle ground.

People move to piracy due to lack of affordability and options.
