  3. According to This Old House: As of 2023, the Tesla Powerwall costs between $9,200 and $14,200 when purchased directly from Tesla. This pricing does not reflect additional state or federal incentives, such as the federal solar tax credit. Tesla offers purchasing options for inclusion with a solar panel or roofing system or as a standalone purchase. Most homes need only one or two batteries to meet their basic energy storage needs.

  9. War on Pollution! The USA might actually win that, unless it counts product chain countries like China, where "green" is literal paint.

  10.  @flagmichael  Rate hikes? I guess not counting existing infrastructure and pollution does make fossil cheaper in the short run than constructing additional wind, fission, or solar fusion plants.

  11.  @flagmichael  Free labor exists in North Korea, but even food is hard to come by there. Then again, money printer can go brr in the USA as it's stable enough to back those bills eventually.
