No worries about Berkshire going bust. Just saying that there is a chance that PacifiCorp could with all the legal claims for the 2020 fires.

The more warmongers try to destroy the power plants of the countries they're invading, the more distributed solar down to the apartment block / house level looks sensible. I see more and more places are allowing people to buy solar panels with the right kind of converter and just plug them into their wall outlets to reduce load - it isn't anywhere near grid freedom, but every bit helps. On a regional / national level, distributed generation is just common sense hardening and national survival in the face of war crimes as practiced by Russia and threatened by the Former US; and in the face of power companies eager to just turn off the power to entire regions whenever the winds get too high for their accountants (*cough* PG&E).

Ideally centralized power generation will become largely a legacy within a few decades, for the benefit of "AI" farms and other power-intensive industry and/or financial fraud schemes.

Very glad to be in Portugal now, where MEO ships me 100% renewable power, primarily wind and solar.
