with the hopes of buying electricity from it as soon as 2028.

energy, water, food and housing should not be used for profit. Everything else is fair game.

[–] TheGrandNagus 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah, not everything else. You can add healthcare to the list.

[–] ichbinjasokreativ 1 points 1 year ago

[–] LeafOnTheWind 13 points 1 year ago

There isn't a price point at which I'll choose to quit using food and water.
