@dubh We'll need to be very selective in whom to get to the local grid and whom to leave off.

People dont "need" to be on a grid anymore. Stand-alone off-grid installations are reliable enough to provide power. Can have a mosque (every house in #Pakistan has access to one) set up production, and all people need to do is connect a wire to it.

These days, talking to my partner, we discussed why many immigrants and refugees, in several situations, seem to have a more fearless attitude than those who grew up in a country like Germany. Few understand the extent of our constant contact with violence and how it shapes our perception of the world - whether as individuals or in our relationships with our families and friends. Perhaps they only know the surface of what it's like to live in such an unequal society, where this reality is imposed on us from birth. And in the end, people from countries like ours will always be reduced to stereotypes. And this is true for all of us who grew up in the global south, regardless of social class and possible differences in opportunity.

@dubh The centralized-grid model was designed for the 20th century when cheap power meant huge power plants 100s of miles away.

The renewables era demands decentralized localized grids with energy storage. Especially with one climate disaster after another, its the only way to make supply resilient & cheap.

Mass install panels & batteries, no subsidies needed, safeguard quality of life for everyone

@dubh great link, thanks!

echoes what I think is the only way forward: abandon the grid in its current form. Trying to prop-up an outdated and inefficient grid on the backs of one segment of slightly better off households, and using this as a justification for its continued existence is harmful to everyone's interests.
