"[W]e live in a world […] that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world."

As a philosophical exercise intended to demonstrate one flaw in this particular moral cosmology, I volunteer to beat the shit out of Stephen Miller.

Y'all, there's a lot of sad shit going on in the world right now, so let me remind you of something to look forward to:

We're gonna get to see cybertruck owners trying to drive in the snow in a few months.

This FT story (quotes me) focuses on the problems solar creates for Pakistan's power grid, which is stuck making capacity payments to coal plants. It's losing sales to its best customers, wealthier households and businesses, which can afford to go solar. This increases power prices for everyone else.

The story is good. Always worth considering the downsides of things. And it is, I think, the first case where solar is actually driving a utility death spiral.
