Sheesh I didn’t know the inverters may not run without a grid reference. Where have you seen that, what a terrible idea!

LOL imagine they skimped on a 555 generating 60Hz when in local mode.

As for the rest of your points, this is the kind of evolution we have all had to go through whenever changing something as core as energy distribution. We’ll get better at it.

I love this funky lore. Thank goodness for Lemmy, I’d have never found your work otherwise.

Shouldn’t be a big change, the transmission system is the same no matter the prime mover.

When fires melted power lines near where I used to live in soCal, SCE would have trucks roll in, dig in new power poles and run the cable. Power restored within about a week, so long as they had stock on transformers.

The grid panels and wind farms are centralized so won’t affect reliability. The house mounted panels will (if your house didn’t catch fire) provide enough energy to run your fridge and house lights.

Meh, net gain is the point, long cycles well be useful for production. Useful, eventually. Cart before the horse, otherwise.

Damn were you just waiting for the opportunity to drop this on someone? Lovin’ this stuff, got a couple of shirts already.
