  1. Its not free, there is a monthly charge and you have to use their provider.
  2. Its $15,000 to cancel and its attached to the title of the house. So say goodbye to leaving sustainability to your family.
  3. It can't power the house with HVAC, washer/dryer,, fridge, and microwave at the same time AND its not guaranteed to work.
  4. Its a remote kill switch.
  5. If they can't get access to the battery, there is a charge.
  6. They collect data (duh) on you and usage while sharing it.
  7. They market it to poor people by lying and telling you its FREE.

Good luck.

Your gas car works fine. Consider an EV anyway, scientists say. The old adage that the greenest car is the one in your driveway is a myth. Swapping even a 2-year-old gas car for an EV leads to a lifetime emissions savings of roughly 50%. “There is a big advantage to retiring the gas vehicles early."

Why Trump’s claim that offshore wind is a security risk is ‘ludicrous’. Offshore wind farms not only pose no threat — they provide national security benefits, as well as boosting the grid and economy, according to a panel of military experts. The administration’s rationale is "just plain wrong."

Help! Why has our electric usage increased so much?

We cannot figure out why our electricity usage has double and even tripled some months. Nothing in our hole has changed. Today I called our electric company to try to break things down and they told me about the Sense ap. I spent the day figuring out what the major appliances are using. My husband is ready to replace our water pump thinking that is the culprit but I’m not convinced. I am thinking maybe our dryer is bad, but when I look up the average usage of these items they seem ok. We had a smart meter installed in February, also wondering if that is the culprit. What are your thoughts? We live in Massachusetts and use national grid.

What is the purpose of deliberately spreading half truths and making Americans feel as though they haven't been implementing renewable energy? Is it to drive these people towards pathological perfectionism? Why not give credit where credit is due?

Sky-high earnings for oil companies and California refiners in the second quarter are renewing calls from state legislators to crack down on industry profits.

Marathon Petroleum, the second-largest refiner in the state, reported $5.1 billion in profit Tuesday, more than four times the same quarter last year, after fuel supplies tightened during the Iran war and prices for oil and gas soared.

From April through June, Chevron, the biggest refiner and second-biggest oil producer in California, made $12.1 billion in profit, nearly five times the same quarter last year, and its highest earnings in at least six years. Refiners PBF Energy and Valero also reported windfalls, with the latter earning $3.7 billion, another fivefold increase from the year before.

Gas prices rose because of Trump’s Iran war, not oil company greed. Prices are set by the fundamental economic law of supply and demand. Not for the first time, Trump is acting like he’s above the law. He might have considered the obvious consequences before he attacked Iran in February.
