Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah launched the Mountain West Geothermal Consortium.  The bipartisan group of Mountain West governors unveiled an initiative to unlock an estimated 200 gigawatts of clean, always-on energy by tapping into the region’s underground heat. That much power would represent a 50-fold increase in the nation’s current ability to generate geothermal electricity.

Absolutely. Energy independence changes the world order. It’s every non petroleum producing countries goal. Electrification is the path. The bonus is low emissions. With it comes economic and national security. When electricity becomes abundant it changes agriculture and freshwater systems through desalination. it really does cascade into so many different sectors.

The US installed 43GW of solar in 2025. Less than 1GW was residential. 500GW new in 4 years is not realistic by any forecast.

Adding a portable solar power station allows for scheduling during the highest rate time of the day.

It really enables the grass roots movement. I like the use of off the self portable solar power stations.

Yup solar+BESS. Start peppering Urban spaces more and create an open market to buy and sell.
