It was challenging to figure out where to put this. It's also environment, and it turns sharply political for Act III.

If you're already familiar with renewables, there's not a lot to learn here but the comparisons with fossil fuels and ethanol. Given that I've been on solar since 2023, I appreciated what he was saying to the uninitiated.

Get yourself some Act II if you plan on making it all the way through ... it's an hour and a half.

I believe it, most especially in your specific case.

Basically, there are three possible outcomes. The preferred one when you flip that master switch is that everything works.

The second is that nothing happens, and now you have to figure out what the fuck has gone wrong.

The third is an electrical fire.

The best part is if the third happens it doesn't necessarily happen immediately. It might just happen while you're sleeping.

Wheeeeeeee!
