Yeah, not surprised at all.

At this rate, I’m going to have to take up a cheaper hobby, like car racing.

The hot dogs in jello thing sounds like a bastardized version of some actual foods from way back. I know the dish as “sült”, but I’m sure it exists in many forms. It’s basically made by boiling bones (think the ones with all the nooks and crannies, like the skull) until all the meat and gelatin come out. Then cool until it solidifies.

Ah, so you’ve invented your own definition of the word “state”. And if a “state” is defined by the mere existence of violence, than a stateless society is an impossibility.

In order to create a stateless society, wouldn’t you first have to conquer all other states? Otherwise you still have a de facto state, whether you call it that or not.

Is energy conserved in this scenario?

Ok, but none of that mentions how they plan to account for panels buried under a foot of snow for half the year. That’s the source of the concern, not simply smoothing out daily peaks and valleys.

California didn’t really debunk anything here. It’s a coastal state with plenty of wind and a predominantly warm, sunny, rain free climate. Of course renewables like wind and solar do well. The reliability concerns are usually more prevalent in areas that have much higher precipitation, and especially in climates that get snow.
