PJM stalled many GWs of solar and batteries in a queue backlog that lasted many years. This has now culminated in a risk to the electricity grid that serves 11 states (some partially). PJM is essentially run by the utilities that have a vested interest in maintaining the fossil fuel status quo.

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.
