A thing I feel a pending societal need for: standard, safely-used physical interfaces for home-scale battery storage.
If I have power but my neighbor doesn't, I should be able to unplug my own battery and wheel it across the street.

A thing I feel a pending societal need for: standard, safely-used physical interfaces for home-scale battery storage.
If I have power but my neighbor doesn't, I should be able to unplug my own battery and wheel it across the street.
One thing that I'm excited about particularly is that solar power and batteries fundamentally changes the individual and community's relationship to the state.
Now-famously, the Amish refuse to connect to the grid, but today those communities use battery powered tools all the time, recharged by solar power.
Put differently: they aren't rejecting technology. They're rejecting dependency.
That logic scales, everywhere, for everyone, in direct proportion to the amount of available battery.
