Cancel any time.

[T]here are days like these when I’m not thinking renewables, wind turbines, solar or subsidies at all, and danged if they don’t pop out of the woodwork and smack me right upside the head.

  4. Why couldn’t you take one of those connections and hook it up to your F-150 Lightning, charge it all night, and then power your house all day with free electricity? Flip the switch at night, recharge your F-150 battery AND power your house until the morning. Until they catch on?
