That chart shows the big jump in “home storage” of electricity.

What induced people to put batteries in their homes? It sure wasn’t unencumbered free-market economics. The leftists yammer all the time about “sustainable,” but the federal subsidies that made that home storage economical is anything but “sustainable.”

I personally like home energy storage, not to replace regular sources, but because weather happens and just like a generator it’s good to have emergency power. More backups are even better.

Similarly, socialist bureaucrats exist and while thankfully not everywhere, we’ve all read, and some experienced, man-made outages and rolling blackouts. I do not wish to subject myself to such dictates.

Unfortunately the township-sized self-contained nuke reactor hasn’t hit the market yet.

Re the main topic— even if/when Germany falters, or an intentional pilot, that never stops leftists. Even the millions of dead at communist and socialist hands are, in their ongoing efforts, just denied, u til they have to back up to “it wasn’t done right,” followed by memoryholing them once the mass murder isn’t fresh on everyone’s minds.

I suspect that they’re trying to take credit for EVs as home storage is still TINY, and will stay that way until the blackouts hit.
