At least the leaves would eventually rot unlike the plastic in wipes.

Why not stabilize the cabinets to the wall, like with child proofing wall anchors?

If you plant strawberries and don’t want them to take over, plant them as low as possible so there’s no soil below them for runners to grow into

I think you’re forgetting ground source heat pumps. They’ll work fine at -40 because they don’t rely on air temperature.

Not grid tie like the ones in the article.

That’s a fairly extraordinary claim, do you have any sources on hydrocarbon creation being more efficient for round trip electrical storage than batteries?

I think the one and only benefit would be that they can have carts going both directions at the same time using the existing 2 rail system, without building a second pair of rails. I’d love to see some sort of bike add-on that would let me do this with a bicycle.

In the future, private individuals will be able to operate mini solar systems as balcony power plants without complicated registration

This is the coolest part. As I understand it you’ll be able to export 500w to the grid without requiring approval of your provider. The new units just plug into the wall and back feed power into your house to reduce your bill.

Depending on how the law is written, I can imagine people putting a battery between the solar and inverter so they could capture more energy and export the maximum 500w all day & night
