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.
“What induced people to put batteries in their homes?”
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.
