Last week our Powerwalls really paid off with multiple outages during triple digits and evening while still in the high 90s. I even went to the nearby Supercharger for the Tesla to save all my stored electrons for outages. Worked well. A key issue is too much residential solar generation blowing out transformers. Solar subsidies have created another class of royalty in CA, just like prop 13 did for all those pre-78 owners.

Coal stoves and wood thieves: Europe braces for winter without Russian gas
In the rural village of Ag, Hungary, two hours southwest of Budapest, Nikoletta Kelemen said the price of firewood - used almost exclusively as winter fuel - has nearly doubled. A single tree's worth of kindling, the 35-year-old nongovernmental organization worker said, now costs roughly half the average village salary of $249 a month.
"I imagine it will come down to burning furniture," Kelemen said.
"Firewood is the new gold," said Franz L?ninghake, 62, a systems administrator in Bremen, Germany, who has a wood-burning furnace on back order. His estimated energy bill for the next year? $4,500 - up from $1,500 for the 12 months to May.
"I'm convinced we're going to have to carry some people out horizontally this winter," he said.
