Let's do this.

@TechConnectify Bravo, Alec

@TechConnectify tl;dw?
Solar is way too cheap to be ignored.
'Mining' oil for one time use is stupid compared to mining minerals and using them again and again forever.
Fuck ice.

@TechConnectify by the way: even if you don’t have the money or space for roof top solar, you can still do #pluginpv!
@balkonsolar Yikes! How are you preventing backfeed to the grid and not defeating the whole point of a breaker box? Backfeeding from an outlet kills people!

@TechConnectify hello, your video is a masterpiece. Thanks for making it.
YES your video made a lot sense to me, it made me realize how SO MUCH BETTER solar energy is. I would say I knew it, but you presentation made it become so clear that it made a click in my mind. I'll take more actions in this direction.
Exactly, this video is so well at arguing it's position, you can't help but understand his view point.
Every avenue of common doubt about solar and battery was handled very well.
I thought I knew well, but now I truly do understand so much better.

@TechConnectify thanks for doing this. I’m glad for both the first part, and the part that we wish you didn’t need to do, because we should’ve all been holding everyone accountable sooner.
-
@TechConnectify This is really great content all around. I support solar and wind (and tangentially work in the industry) and this is the most clear description of WHY it is better. Thank you.
-
@TechConnectify Heck yeah, I was looking forward to this ever since the last patreon announcement! Thank you for your amazing videos!
-
@TechConnectify That was _magnificent_. Best post-credits piece ever. Thanks for the excellent educational content pre-credits also.

@TechConnectify You’re using (coining) the term “disposable energy” — I also like “rental energy”
The age of rental energy is over. We are becoming energy landlords.
-
@TechConnectify I just finished the video to the end. So powerful. So well said. Thank you
-
@TechConnectify doing the lords work.
No.
Doing the peoples work.

@TechConnectify Rent-free energy is here — we collect it, we store it, and in my case, sell it: I make $100pm as an energy producer, instead of spending $150pm being an energy consumer. [update: my inflation stats need increasing haha]
No literally, cash in the bank. I assist the grid via reverse auction, and push down the tariffs of my neighbours. And green the grid.
It’s an “energy trilemma” — in reverse now! I can choose to maximise for reliability, profit or carbon reduction.
Here are my last several power bills in dollaridoos — the “positive dollars” on the last one was just deducted from earlier larger profits.

@TechConnectify Best one ever, both the part about renewable and the bonus about politics.

> six solar systems installed between 1987 and 1993 that have been in continuous operation since, and found most panels still producing more than 80% of their original output after nearly four decades.

This video is a great example of why YouTube remains valuable despite its problematic corporate ownership. Now you just need a condensed version for the people who can't manage the (gulp) feature-film-length runtime. -

@Madagascar_Sky @utf_7 @TechConnectify you had me at hello

@TechConnectify Absolute banger of an episode!

@rexi @TechConnectify perhaps https://freetubeapp.io/#download helps?

@TechConnectify thank you

@TechConnectify The entire length is so good! It resonates with me so much and honestly it's amazing how much everything connects.
