    A lot of them are already “off the grid” in a sense, but they usually set up their own fossil fuel plants instead of renewables.

    Honestly we just need legislation to start phasing out fossil fuels.

      We demonized and shuttered nuclear power plants in the US and strengthened fossil fuel. We wont see anything like a fossil fuel phase out anytime in the near future.

        Standard cooling is a real issue with the climate heating, exponentially. I’m not sure, but even molten salt is probably not an answer.
