Had watched a video about Base Power. Currently they're only available in Texas. Thought I'd see if there was money to be saved with Dominion's net metering plan — with or without #BatteryArbitrage.
We don't have a battery as they've always been too expensive to justify based on just "what if we lose power long enough for our refrigerators to let food go bad".
I have a small #solar array. During peak months, it generates a bit over 500kWh/mo.
In the 11mo we've had our #EV, we've mostly stayed between 150-185kWh/mo.
Eyeballing Dominion's variable rate option, it didn't look like there were savings to be had. It looked especially iffy given that my I'm #WorkFromHome and wife has a medical condition that has left her stay-at-home.
Still, it didn't seem to make sense that my eyeball estimate could be correct. So, I ran our usage patterns through a calculator (Dominion and NREL both have online tools). And, my eyeballs weren't all that far off, even with #battery #arbitrage. While there were some savings that could be had, they'd be all but eaten up by the all-in costs of a battery versus the effective lifetime of that battery.
It begs the question of why Dominion even offers a variable rate plan. I mean, I get that our usage patterns aren't typical. But it looks like, even if they were, it wouldn't matter. Dominion's iffy variable rate plan looks specifically designed to destroy any savings one would get with a solar+battery setup (especially if you don't have a "100% of average daily use" solar and battery system). This seems borderline criminal. -

We have solar panels with a net-metering + time of use plan. The way our utility works is that they charge a flat fee per *net* kWh (this makes sense) and then give a per kWh credit for super off peak (fee+credit=cheaper) and an extra charge per each peak kWh.
Interestingly, these past few bills we've received a super off peak credit for more kWh than we've actually used from the grid. I guess their systems aren't intelligent enough to care for that. So we are, in a very small way, (so far max $3/month) profiting off of this.
Example: At the end of the month the power they sent me, minus the power I sent them is 200 kWh. But my super off peak usage is 400 kWh. I get to pocket the super off peak credit for all 400, even though I only netted 200. Now, if only I could game the system like a tech/finance bro...

There is a sub-genre of isekai (異世界, other world) which involves arbitrage between the world of today and the historical/fantasy other world.
• (Charles Stross, The Merchant Princes) A clan of secretive world-walkers have been using their abilities to build an empire spanning two worlds. An American gets unexpectedly drawn into intra-clan conflict, the U.S. government's covetousness, and the irrationality in assuming there is a highest natural number.
• (FUNA, #Saving80000Gold for My Retirement) After receiving a blessing which saved her life, diminutive teenage orphan Mitsuha decides to amass a fortune sufficient to retire to either world. Luxury-obsessed nobles, plucky young villagers, and a company of flexible-minded modern mercenaries help her establish a foothold.
• (Makishima Suzuki, Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!) Since childhood Kazuhiro would dream of a fantasy world. When he and and elf are killed while exploring, he learns that his dreams are real and falling asleep or dying allows him and the person he is touching to move back and forth. Cultural and economic exchange transpires.
• (Ren Eguchi, #CampfireCookingInAnotherWorld with My Absurd Skill) The absurd skill is Amazon (actually Online Supermarket).
• (Hiiro Shimotsuki, Peddler in Another World: I Can Go Back to My World Whenever I Want!) Pretty on the nose.
• (Hirukuma, #RebornAsAVendingMachine, I Now Wander the Dungeon) A sapient vending machine accepts coins in a magical world to restock with items and upgrades from our modern world and the main character's love of Japanese vending machine culture.

Frage in die #PV #Strom Bubble: für morgen liegen bei meinem Stromlieferanten rabot.energy die Brutto-Preise teilweise unter 7ct/kWh. Da ich eine Einspeisevergütung (EEG) von fix 8ct/kWh bekomme, ließe sich über den Pufferspeicher ein #Arbitrage Gewinn machen: immer in 15 min Abschnitten Strom ziehen und einspeichern und dann wieder ins Netz schieben. Wenn man 15% Speicherverlust verücksichtigt, sollte sich das bei < 6,8 ct/kWh rechnen.
Oder habe ich da einen Denkfehler drin? #pvbuddies -

Deeper liquidity. More volume.
We also enjoy the upside of Hydrex's growth on Base, while arbitrage activity compresses EVRGROW's supply and reinforces the floor.

Because I often buy index cards in tranches of 5,000 to 10,000 at a time, I’ve noticed that Oxford recently dropped their brick of 500 4×6″ index cards to $6.47, a new low for the past year when they’ve generally been hovering in the $8.50-9.50 range. As a competitive move, Amazon has dropped their competing brick to $5.82, also a new annual low. If your card index habit is price sensitive, now is the time to buy. -

The idea that even a little #inflation is good is predicated on the need to have a lever to recover from a lack of regulatory control over corporations taking excessive risks or outright scams.
If things get more efficient and easier to make over time then #deflation or plateau should be the default.
The #arbitrage between the two creates secondary economies that are further invested in preserving or expanding their power, enabling further risks and scams.

I am coming around to Brad DeLong’s view that Chaos Monkey is in charge.
I was going to write about the specious reasoning behind the copper tariffs announced earlier this week, but now, having read a little more about it, I hesitate even to call it reasoning. I am tempted to say that the story Howard Lutnick is telling about “the idea” of “[bringing] copper production home” by imposing tariffs on imports is an example of magical thinking, but that would imply that the idea is a serious idea, that it involved actual planning or something that can actually be called thinking, and also that that thinking carries some charm. It shows none, except perhaps as an arbitrage opportunity.
For similar reasons I resist even the Globe and Mail’s characterization of this idea of a concept of a plan as a “pipedream.” Dreams, including those from the pipe, can be illuminating; this is smoke and mirrors. What we’ve got here is at best a travesty of industrial policy, a tout, a vulgar ruse, flattery, hype, and bluster instead of responsible government.
The idea of a concept of a plan is unworkable in the short term for everyone but the commodity traders, confusing and offensive to trading partners like Chile (the source of around 65 percent of US copper), and (I’ll wager) the smart people are just politely hedging — and trying to cover their bets and not draw ire — when they say they are cautiously optimistic or taking a wait-and-see attitude.
I am more and more inclined lately toward the view of Brad DeLong, who, writing about a different subject (armaments to Ukraine), says that what we are seeing on nearly every front is not policy or ideas; it’s chaos monkey:
The absence of even a pale shadow or a bad approximation to a coherent policy process under Trump’s administration renders both allies and adversaries unable to predict American actions. That undermines global stability. In the world of international relations, predictability is not a luxury but a necessity. Nations calibrate their own policies, investments, and security arrangements based on expectations about the behavior of others—particularly when it comes to a superpower like the United States.
…when American foreign policy becomes a function of—I was going to say “presidential whim, as it has under Trump”, but that is wrong, isn’t it? That imposes more structure on the process than it in fact has. Chaos monkey is the only term even half-adequate. And so the result is a kind of international vertigo….
The net effect is a world system where trust erodes and the risk of miscalculation—and thus catastrophe—increases.
Postscript, 13 July 25: Krugman makes a similar point in this post: “I Don’t Disapprove of Trump’s Strategy, Because He Doesn’t Have One.” Correct. I balk a little at the final clauses of his final sentence: “there clearly isn’t a strategy, just the prejudices of an ignorant man and his enablers.” Sure, Trump demonstrates prejudice and ignorance in nearly all that he does, and having grown up in the New York area, I recognize his flavor of prejudice and ignorance; but prejudice alone doesn’t account for the trouble he’s making. After all, Prejudiced Ignoramus would offer a little more predictability and consistency — a little more structure, to use DeLong’s word — than Chaos Monkey.
