I love juneteenth. A new federal holiday and a perfect example of why no one should rely on government for time sensitive need to know information.

Inverters that draw almost no power at idle sounds like a good idea to me too.
Yeah. My energy policy would be cheaper gas, more pipelines, more refineries, more solar panels on the roof tops of homes, preferably not on cars but if it work it works, more wind turbines, more natural gas more coal, more nuclear power, more nuclear families, more lithium extraction, more cobalt mines, less to no new lithium grid batteries more electric cars, more hybrid cars.
I'm one of the rare people own an electric car and isn't a total shrill. I can admit that they aren't for everyone and we are a long way from even 10% of new vehicles being electric.
Unless the United States is going to go invade some country and take their lithium.
