We need an authoritarian figure to nationalize the energy supply, shut down these wasteful expressions of late stage capitalism, mandate rooftop solar, and build out our nuclear fleet.
Father; husband; mechanical engineer. Posting from my self-hosted Lemmy instance here in beautiful New Jersey. I also post from my Pixelfed instance.

We shouldn’t have either.
Per the AP, “There were fires at the Vistra plant in 2021 and 2022”.
Abandon the model of buying and storing electricity when demand is low and reselling power back to the grid when demand is high. Instead, electricity should almost always be generated in excess of demand with the difference going to hydrogen and oxygen production for various medical, industrial, agricultural, and transport applications. If we ever run out of storage, they can be safely vented to atmosphere.
So do I, but I can’t even search for my own posts. It’s frustrating.
The blog discussed progress on a “privacy-respecting search tool” that could be used to explore the entire Fediverse, a collection of independent social media networks that Mastodon connects to. That could make it possible to discover more content without depending on a “For You” algorithm mining user data.
Inshallah. Lack of search is my biggest gripe with Mastodon.
I don’t think we should be storing and reselling electricity at all.
