Good story except the SS COLA is based on a measure of inflation that includes energy and food costs, to be specific they use the CPI-W. So does the government published CPI number most commonly used, the most recent being a 0.4% MoM for Sep 2022, called the CPI-U. The index that excludes...

Yep, for the money I would expect Tektronik. For a lot more money I'd expect Textronix.

We fly with two of these: https://startpac.com/products/model-li2800qc-28-5/ we use this https://startpac.com/products/quick-change-y-connector/ So we can use both in parallel for our starts, saves paying lots of money for a power cart start at remote airports

Sell them on Alibaba as Grade A cells.

Doesn't need to be particularly high capacity, I did it because the LiFePO4 batteries last longer and properly swapping the 12V battery in my Tesla is not a simple process so after my original battery died I replaced it with a LiFePO4. Newer Teslas come with a lithium ion, probably NMC...

Get a BMS that has a temp sensor and disables charging below 0C

I would think strong proponents of the right to bear arms would be happy to see armed IRS agents, the more guns the better Thanks, like I thought not a tax increase

Any specifics on how it raises taxes down to the $20k income level? Or is that just something you heard? I suspect you are getting confused, there are no changes to federal income tax laws that target anyone at the $20k income level but there are almost certainly SOME people who file returns...

I agree that the causes of the current world-wide inflation are complex and not entirely due to the last administration's massive deficits.

Then a good thing this bill reduces the deficit by spending less than it raises

I can only speculate that PayPal freezes their accounts, it appears that is what happened when I paid them. Originally they wanted me to wire them the funds because of an issue with their PayPal account and when I declined they got another PayPal account that I made my final payment to but...

How did you measure SOC?

They seem to have to keep creating new PayPal accounts which require new email addresses, delivered fine for me though.

The new IRA bill makes this an even better approach than in the past. Previously you had to have solar to get a tax credit for batteries and NOT charge it from the grid but now you can build a battery only system and charge from the grid and get a 30% tax credit

Because they are junk batteries with high self-discharge? or you are fooling yourself and not really getting them to 100% SOC I'm going to go with junk batteries, no decent vendor selling good batteries delivers batteries with 0% SOC. Probably were at 0% SOC because of high self-discharge

Probably because someone sold you junk batteries, based on them arriving at 0% SOC

Solar isn’t the only green source Where I live base production is nuclear, priced dirt cheap off peak because demand is very peaky Shifting demand to off peak reduces fossil fuel peaker plants use.

It shifts demand which improves the grid and reduced reliance on fossil fuel peaker plants

??? What is stupid about it?

Congress consists of the House and the Senate. This is a Senste Bill that the House must pass before it goes to the President

The recapture is for the ITC for commercial installations/projects not the homeowner solar tax credit

New bill, if passed, eliminates the requirement that energy storage systems be charged by sun/solar/… A purely grid charged battery system would be entitled to the 30% credit IF the bill is signed into law

No for tenants unless there is some ownership interest like an apt coop

It will if it passes, retroactive back to Jan 1, 2022 install dates

The new bill is retroactive to Jan 1, 2022 for solar so if you already did an install in 2022 your tax credit would be 30% not 26% The new bill also provides the same tax credit for energy storage so you can install batteries without needing to install solar to get the tax credit

You are talking commercial, I am talking residential. But thanks for confirming that even in your case the insurance company paid.

Anyone selling that for 146.61 is almost certainly a scammer.

I've asked everyone I've seen claiming insurance companies don't pay because you screwed something up if they can quote from their policy where it says that, still waiting for someone to find the language. Really wish people would stop with the insurance fear mongering and stick with just...

Then they are providing free charging for EVs. That's all. Doesn't imply anything else,

Hauling a big 5kwH battery to a library and spending 3+ hours charging it? No, find another way, like a generator to run your house.

Correct, the truck could have 100,00 HP and weighing half as much and half the traction the horses still win. HP doesn’t win tug of war contest’s

Yes, and that wasn't Inauguration Day so why is Batvette saying "It should be noted that the day Gavin Newsom finally opened up California businesses for full operation... Was the exact day of Joe Bidens inauguration. Not making that up its true." Guess he really did make it up

Are you sure? Link to something showing they lifted restrictions on Jan 20th?

Science is supposed to be fluid. It is theory that meets observation and then it attempts to either find contrary evidence or confirming evidence. Theories tend to be tweaked. That gravity is still a theory doesn't mean it isn't real and measurable. Science progresses over time, pseudo...
