@jwildeboer of course in reality this does happen, but it's also a matter of where your generation and storage are. You can't absorb excess supply from Scottish wind farms with EVs in London, for example.

Grids are definitely getting smarter, but maintaining grid stability with additional renewables and increased electrification is neither trivially easy nor cheap.

@jwcph @pluralistic is that true though?

Fascism can make things better, in at least two ways. First, if you're in the "in group", things may actually get better, at least for a while. Sure, the in group gets smaller over time, but at you might be in it at the start.

Second, if you're the sort of person with a violent but fragile sense of identity who can't stand anything 'other', than fascism lets you hit out at minorities. For some people, the cruelty is the point.
