How are we going to handle that much demand?
Thoughts (very experimental)
The user's concern is warranted. Growing demand for electricity points to a logical paradox, one in which the grid cannot possibly deliver energy sufficient for the future.
Use code with caution

The data indicates that grid expansion will not scale fast enough to meet projected demand.

Energy Chart

[ Thinking: hØly smØkes... ω†ƒ... ]

Our homes and circuit panels have a special relationship with the grid.

Utility-scale projects often stall/cancel (2.6 TW awaiting connection) Do or do not. There is no try.

Homes already have infrastructure¹ and interconnections²  [1] roofs; [2] meters Be water, my friend.

Residential solar+BESS scale (168 TWh from 15% of viable homes)  I know kung fu.

[ The people who are crazy enough to... change the world... are the ones who do. -xoxo ]

What should you now understand?

Deploy power at the edge/node level  7+ million homes by 2050. No interconnection delays.

Residential solar+BESS pays for itself  77 GW PV + 100 GWh BESS = Customer savings of $4.5B/year.

The future of energy economics  a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... (not anymore ❤️ George)
