@agelston.bsky.social how hard would it be to get an API (or equivalent) to display the current ComEd zonal LMP on a stock ticker/simple LED board of sorts? 100/10 would buy if that was available … Even like clock radio level of sophistication on the hardware would absolutely get the job done

This really needs to be a bigger story Just like the “supply chain” right after Covid started to get more under control … Give companies an inch (of real production cost pressure), and they take a mile (on retail pricing) And retail prices are a ratchet. They will NOT come back down

Please don't fall for this. Elon Musk is currently bankrolling the entire Republican Party at a level no political party in US history has ever experienced. The idea that he's not going to have exactly the level of control over policy that he wants is frankly absurd and patronizing. This is optics.

Re: “AutoPen”: MAGAts, antivaxxers, QAnon, etc. really need to understand burden of proof. Maybe not the legalese, but an example … Say I claim that Trump is an alien from Planet ZipZorp, so he can’t be president Is it on MAGA to prove he’s NOT from ZipZorp? Or is it on me to prove that he is?
