Problems / Solutions

The fuel and the board

The hole, the warehouse in the queue, the bill that is already rent. The leaky envelope is on the Buildings pages. The outage kit is on the Emergency pages. Climate as weather is on the Environment pages. The franchise bill is on the Utilities pages.

Problem
Fossil fuel dependence

EIA 2025: petroleum 38%, gas 36%, coal 9%. Wind and solar passed coal on the electricity board. Decline, not deliverance.

Solution
Own generation

Own the panel. A lease is another utility.

Problem
Data-center load

LBNL: 4.4% of U.S. electricity in 2023, 6.7–12% by 2028. About 55% of forecast peak-load growth.

Solution
Neighbors first

Cut the draw. The neighbor’s roof is not a brand.

Problem
Energy poverty

ACEEE: one in four low-income households spend more than 15% of income on energy bills.

Solution
End-use efficiency

Seal it. Switch it. Treat a heat pump as ordinary work.
