Out of curiosity: What did you do with the 30 kwh? I've only been monitoring our production/consumption since spring, and I'm trying to learn what to expect. So far, if we do "nothing", our household consumes about 8-9 kWh. With cooking/baking, washing, power tools, etc, it goes up to 13 or 14. And we had a heatwave where we used the heat pump for cooling, and that was another 7 or 8, so around 20 per day in total.

nostr:npub1gmx4vz0z4waf3ff40j7vdy7stdn4c0gne6lkd0pwtae46lzph4mqajatcq Wow! Rocking big system! My system is only half of what our utility allows (yes, WTF?!?!?) because of space constraints. Generated 9.2kWh today due to cloudy weather, best day since it was installed was 19.9 kWh. I'm hoping to be able to load up some more panels once I get a carport built, and maybe future restrictions will not be so stupid. I feel like every bit helps.
nostr:npub1j7t9753lqsyyjq8s7w4h8zu0dvnyvdw4rwdkr3lmglxw7fralr3sngls96 I share your WTF and hope those restrictions change soon
nostr:npub1gmx4vz0z4waf3ff40j7vdy7stdn4c0gne6lkd0pwtae46lzph4mqajatcq I've tried to put this into words but "I want to be able to live with myself" does it. I live in a really tiny house (by North American standards) 500 sq ft for my partner and I and our two kids. We try to drive as little as possible, bike and walk where we can. We don't have a clothes dryer. We buy clothes and toys second hand. Before staying home with my kids I worked in research for climate change, public health and sustainability policy change. It feels like a measley pittance next to private jets and oil and gas but 🤷 I dunno. I do want to be able to live with myself.
nostr:npub1gmx4vz0z4waf3ff40j7vdy7stdn4c0gne6lkd0pwtae46lzph4mqajatcq that's awesome! I think if I remember correctly the average for an American household is 30kwh/day.
I know the biggest items that consume the most energy are clothes dryers and heating and cooling units. So, if there are ways to use those less that would be a good next step. Keep up the fight to be more resilient!
nostr:npub1pxas386kf38nukh5qglsn4s0u5w0qv7sr2u0nk3g7kyhzprzwkmsmxww3u yup re: dryers, Can confirm i am only using my dryer in the winter (if there is winter) in the near future. Clotheslines going up.
nostr:npub1gmx4vz0z4waf3ff40j7vdy7stdn4c0gne6lkd0pwtae46lzph4mqajatcq Have you seen anyone who has two brain cells to rub together who is advocating for any sort of use of AI? I'm not seeing it. It's an interesting point to ponder.
nostr:npub1wj857ayedqhxsjajfgu7tps332def983x8k663df6j7dzv4jtgwsy6s5yh Same. Only area ive seen endorsed by decent minds is pattern recognition niche roles like interpeting mammograms in medicine. Thats about it.

nostr:npub1syhp7l7mmpvugz54m36v7ldus6caegfw5hjaanyp9kpgxs9ysnhs90c8uj right you are. Dusty cobwebs in my brain.
My solar produced 75.1kWh today.
Consumed 30.1kWh.
I have no clue if that's good, efficient, effective, me virtue signalling small scale individualistic efforts when collective efforts are needed, or a drop in the pissbucket of life.
I just know that as the climate damage we've wrought unfolds, I want to be able to live with myself.

Don't call AI workers, that implies they're getting paid, they're slaves.
I also wonder companies who replace workers with AIs think will buy their products and services? Because humans wont have any money and the AIs don't need anything.
"AI is catnip for the rot economy - a symbolic way to “get more work done” and “push for efficiency” while “promoting growth” without having to invest in the well-being or future of anyone that works for them. Companies will ... suddenly have the perfect worker - a mediocre, featureless stooge that is helpful and doesn’t have the option or inclination to quit."

Yo Siri,
"Am I manic & having grandiose, expansive delusions or is every else that much of a fucking idiot, killing themselves to suck on fossil fuel exec's asses"?
Thanks
