You remember COVID era censorship, right? They banned us from their apps. They deplatformed alternate views and tried to silence any form of opposition. That's why we built Unplugged. So when the chips are down, we know we have an independent platform that will have our back.

You don't agree with our assumptions? Today we also publish a storage calculator so you can work out a cost of storage on your assumptions... https://t.co/Z4u5oWFMdl

Dispatchable solar at $76/MWh🤯 The IEA say 80% of energy demand in the next 10 years will be in sunny regions. Cheap battery means solar's potential is limitless♾

"Learn by doing"... and as deployment continues to rise, more price falls are inevitable...

And it's not just capex! The economics have also been improved because the batteries LAST LONGER, are HIGHER EFFICIENCY, and have LOWER PROJECT RISK..

The economics have been transformed because grid batteries have ***fallen by 45% for 2 years in a row*** 🤯🤯🤯 2025: BNEF 45% fall is for storage battery PACK; their full BESS assessment for 2025 isn't out yet. 2024: BNEF showed a 45% fall in BESS assessment to $165/KWh. This

And you don't need to move ALL solar generation... If you move 50% of it @$65/MWh of electricity, that adds **just $33/MWh** to make solar dispatchable. The global average solar cost is $43/MWh. That means dispatchable solar is just $76/MWh.

Woke up farming vegetables in a cozy green village. Went to bed in a desert with red rock formations and a dog that wasn't there this morning. The game escalates quickly. Out now on Steam 👇

That means it costs just $65 to move a MWh of electricity (using real-world project parameters)..

The scope of our price assessment is: 🟡 Large utility scale 🔋 (smaller projects + home batteries are ++$🪫) 🟡 4 hour 🔋(1-2 hours are ++$🪫) 🟡 Minimal Chinese tariffs 🔋(The US is ++$, because these prices rely on imported Chinese equipment🪫)

AI agents aren’t failing for lack of IQ—they’re failing for lack of context. The winners will nail the context layer: clear objectives, permission-aware access to the right content, and workflow-specific tools. Build agents that know your business, not just the internet.
