  1. My family has a farm where electricity is expensive and cuts out too frequently, but luckily the new house is designed to install solar panels and storage batteries. We're already saving considerable amounts on the power bills due to superior grounding, and with Starlink and solar panels hope to be capable to go fully off-grid without interruption when needed.

  2. It does require controlled storage for the life of its fuel though, which can be thousands of years. Even fusion isn't completely free of long-lasting toxic byproducts. Really the only nuclear that's safe for life is the one we're standing on: the heat of the Earth's mantle, where if anything goes wrong is no more dangerous than routine volcanic activity.

  3. Wind turbine blades are primarily glass and carbon fiber encased in resin, and more inert to the environment than even composted food waste. Most times we just bury them, special landfill preparations not required -- they'll be good to dig up and recycle once we have an economical way of separating the materials.

  4. As with other progress-retarding politics, it seems a lot of these will disappear by sunlighting and tracing the source of sponsorship preferably to the level of individual executives.
