#it should not be commercially viable - and if it is it should come with huge disclaimers that the art is AI

If musicians and authors use AI for their covers/art and refuse to pay real artists for their work, I will refuse to pay for the work of said musicians and authors and just download it as well. It's only fair, no?

I did this over at the ol’ twitter (template here) because it seemed like a neat idea to reflect what I’ve done. I actually did a LOT of writing this year! If you’d like to read some writing rambles and my overview of my 2022 writing adventure, you can click the keep reading! I’m very wordy!
Overall, my gut reaction is to say I didn’t do well this year because my sole focus was to get The Divine an agent. Though I did not do that (and am incredibly fed up with the entire system and how much of a dumpster fire trade publishing actually is), I do feel more emboldened to try self-publishing even though my personality may not be quite suited for it. Even self-publishing tires me out because a lot of advice I get needs you to spend money--lots of it--but it’s like, writing is already gatekept enough. I’m fucking poor! I don’t have 1000 dollars for a good editor. I barely have money for bills at this point.
At the very least, ignoring advice that expects you only to self-publish when you either have a lot of cash just hanging out, a spouse you can depend on, or just make it work I guess, self-publishing is still a very viable avenue I’m a little excited to learn a little more of.
So, that’s something! Maybe nothing will come of it, but I do feel excited to try it. I can format the inside of a book pretty well and I think I’m comfortable enough with my art to make a cover (and the cover I’m making for The Divine is amazing if I do say so myself).
Otherwise, what other writing have I done?
The biggest project was Wherever the Stars Call--my Vampires in SPACE. I had unused ideas from Vagabonds (I still need to figure out what I want to do with that since it’s basically 3 books worth of material), so I was like okay I can use those up but with what? And then it became a thread of “but what if vampires in space?!” and while largely, the focus shifted to the queer runaway leads, vampires still play an important part of the story. I adore these characters to bits and I think the story is a fun space adventure. Leaves itself open too if I ever get enough ideas for a sequel (there is some in the works but nothing that pieces together well). I’m pretty confident in this project’s commercial viability, but given my opinion on agents and the publishing world, I don’t quite know if I want to go through the crushing rejections The Divine had to go through right this second. Or even deal with the inevitable “well, one of the leads should get together with the vampire since that’s what young adult books do” or “if the leads aren’t a couple by the end, we can’t sell it” and have to change my ideas to fit whatever mold the market wants. Not that I would change either of those above, market be damned. Regardless, my big goal is to at least try which is why editing it is my #1 goal for next year to get it polished and ready.
Alongside that chonker of a project, I managed to squeeze out three short stories (I meant to do more but then two novellas turned novels happened and then so did the novella that stayed a novella). all my ghosts is my favorite only because I tried something new (way more contemporary than I usually do without anything hugely fantastical (beyond the ghosts) while also vaguely exploring queer identity and the meaninglessness of doing what you think you ought to) and I think I did a good job.
I also began the year posting The Devil in the Woods. 12 part supernatural novella dealing with disaster teens making disaster decisions concerning a demon inside the woods. Overall, I still think I failed the project because it just wasn’t perceived. I’m still not quite sure what I did wrong except maybe my audience really isn’t into that kind of story (contemporary leaning with vague horror vibes). I like the story a lot and I’m learning more trying to get an e-book version of it (images do not play nice). Hopefully next year, I’ll get an e-book version out and a physical copy for myself at the very least.
Then came the two novellas that turned into short novels in their own right. Angel Wings follows Asher as he gains angel wings and has to maneuver through what society expects of him with said wings and how much he wants to break the mold he’s being forced into. Angry gay breaking things, the novel. I liked writing it because it felt cathartic with Asher being frustrated and angry at his perceived place in the world and how much more he believes he is in spite of it. No one wanted to beta-read it, but that’s okay! It’s categorized under “Weird Novels Ronove Loves That No One Else Might” and I’m largely okay with that. Maybe one day it’ll have its day to shine! 
The second novella turned short novel was Star Scourge. Last year, I wrote Light of the World which was about Nayir and his quest with Ara, a little piece of a god that sought to end the world, to maybe finish ending the world. While the description is a downer, the novel ended up being hopeful as Nayir pieces himself back together and as Ara sees the world her god tried to drown and how wrong that might have been. It still needs its editing finished, but as a whole I loved it. Then, here comes Star Scourge which takes a similar premise, localizes it, and puts the one who can end the world at the center. Sol is a fallen star who is prophesied to save the world just like all the fallen stars before him. Except, he recognizes it’s a cycle and one that will not break if he follows the path all the other fallen stars have taken. So, like Ara, he plans to finish ending the world. Unlike Light of the World, this one is a somber downer where Sol is faced again and again with reasons why the world really doesn’t want saving or that it’s simply not worth it. It’s setting is a world literally steps away from being wiped out altogether and how Sol interacts with that and his own desires. It was incredibly interesting to write (I wanted to say fun, but that’s a weird word to use, haha) and I think a good exercise after writing Light of the World where literally, hope was still there. Star Scourge doesn’t have that. A sour band of heroes trying to do their best by the world alongside the star who is secretly planning to end it. Sometimes, we just write sadder things and it’s okay!
Then, finally, I began to write The Magician & the Bard because I’ve always wanted to write a sword & sorcery kind of romp where the fate of the world wasn’t the focus of the fantasy, rather what the characters did within this world I created. It has been a lot of fun to plan (I have so many hi-jinks they can get up to) and it’s been a blast writing and getting to know these characters further. I missed writing pure fantasy and I like that their adventure is a bit more upbeat in general. And though I feel it’s having the same problems as Devil in the Woods at being perceived when I post it, I think more people are keen on reading it! I definitely don’t feel as down after finishing posting the first arc as I did with Devil in the Woods. I just want to write more and throw Vahn and Hawke at any silly idea I can! I have one more arc fleshed out and another one with the broad strokes written down and a bunch of one line ideas to throw them at. One idea even has a dragon!
All in all though, 2022 I think really shows that at heart, I love writing. In the fact of total rejection for the Divine, I’m still writing. And I don’t think that’s going to change. I have so many half-baked ideas just waiting for their chance to shine that I hope I can really get going on in 2023.
Thank you for reading! I felt very pensive about my writing journey this year and I think it helped to write this all out.

Representation in comics is seriously in the gutter these days but you know what specific examples really piss me off more than anything else?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When people try and use these panels to claim that Kitty is bi. This shit aggravates me on SO MANY LEVELS, first and foremost of which is the sheer fucking lack of self-respect on display that comes from it. Like I don't know about the white gays who go apeshit for these but Kitty's bisexuality being hinted at exactly once, not being addressed at all for two years, hinted at a second time then ignored again to this day really makes me feel so seen and represented. Call me old-fashioned but I want better than that, for Kitty and for myself.
And they hit you with that slick shit, they go "they kissed! She said she has a type "of guy"! What do you mean that's not canon!" and you know what, it would be canon, if writers knew how to do it, but they don't. Bluebird is my favourite DC character and her canonical coming out was not much better than whatever this attempt with Kitty is, she got canonised and then also promptly ignored and never addressed again, and that's BAD that's a damn SHAME there's prime opportunity here for interesting character work they're not taking advantage of
BUT.
At least she said it. At least she said, out loud, in plain English, on official ink and paper "I am bisexual" and now no one can take that from her, if they do it's intentional erasure. There is a concrete, inarguable source point to refer back to. Kitty never said it, so it doesn't count.
And that's not to say "every single comic character that gets canonised as LGBT+ HAS to say their sexuality out loud!!!" like no there are plenty of queer people who choose not to stick with one specific label preferring to be nebulous and undecided and that's FINE that's GREAT it's a viable avenue for representation in comics
BUT.
If a character doesn't say it out loud then the trade off is you have to put the work in, you have to do it in a meaningful way, you can't just do it once then only do it whenever you need to tell people "hey we didn't forget!" And that's just not something editorial is willing to commit to. Worth noting too, HUGE benefit of the doubt to the writers, the fact these panels even exist is a sign they want to do it, but for my sanity, I'm gonna assume it's editorial's fault. That said, there are a few names that come to mind but that's for another post.
Comics are getting more and more progressive each year, which is so great to see
BUT.
(Last one I promise)
The trade off for THAT is they're so so scared of offending anybody, they don't want to say for absolute certainty that anyone is or isn't - do the words "bare minimum" sound familiar? - and the ones that do by some miracle get confirmed, like Tim/Bernard or JayJon - are immediately shoved together with some zero development character that was so painfully obviously shoehorned in just to say that the other character is LGBT, and they're just not INTERESTING. All these relationships are clean and safe, pulled fresh from a Hallmark commercial and the dialogue is written like a goddamn PSA instead of real people. And I don't even care about Tim or Jon like that (especially not with Tom Taylor's hack writing) so that should be an indicator of how much this pisses me off, like we are never returning to the days of Scandal Savage marching into hell to save her one true love then ending up in a poly relationship because they're scared of implying that gay people go to hell or something equally stupid and cowardly.
So uh tl;dr Big 2 Comics are fucking spineless in case you didn't know that and please don't hope for actual representation from them, go out and read some books that actually do interesting and engaging explicit queer relationships (start with Invisible Kingdom by G. Willow Wilson)

Municipal Waste: Why Is It A Problem?
Municipal waste can be hazardous to the environment if not disposed of properly. Municipal solid waste can also be used as a resource for recycling and energy production. This includes things like plastic, paper, food waste, and even construction materials.
Consider the garbage you create every day, whether it is directly or indirectly. The waste you discard at your home or place of employment comes first, followed by the waste that is discarded after you leave the restaurants, shops, clinics, and other establishments you frequently visit. Every resident does produce a large quantity of trash.
Where Does Solid Waste Come from?
Municipal solid waste can be classified into three categories: residential, commercial, and industrial.
Residential waste refers to waste from homes and apartment buildings.
Commercial waste refers to waste from offices or stores.
Industrial waste refers to the trash created by factories and businesses.
Why Is It A Problem?
The majority of people are unaware that solid waste is a significant problem around the nation, but one that may be avoided.
Consider the following to comprehend the dangers that the annual disposal of millions of tons of waste poses to our health and the environment:
It is toxic. Municipal solid waste can contain every and any dangerous substance on the market. This type of waste is usually dumped in landfills, which is not only a threat to our environment but also to human lives. The problem with dumping this kind of waste in landfills is that it releases toxic materials such as heavy metals and chemical compounds into the ground, contaminating the soil and water supply, which then affects our food production. In addition to that, many municipalities in developing countries lack the resources or expertise to manage this type of waste properly.
Tumblr media
Landfills leak. Landfills are used to store trash, and the theory is that they will never leak. This is not true. Landfills eventually leak, and the gas from them can be toxic. The gas is created by decomposing materials in the landfill. Landfill gas can also be a huge fire hazard because it contains methane, which is highly combustible. We should start thinking about how we are going to deal with this problem now before it becomes a major issue for our society in the future.
Tumblr media
Burning produces toxic air pollution. Burning solid waste is a significant contributor to the world's air pollution problem. In developing countries, burning solid waste is a viable and cheap solution for managing their garbage. This practice has led to the release of toxic air pollution that has contributed to global climate change and environmental degradation.
Tumblr media
It causes cancer. We usually think of solid waste as something that we can see, but the truth is that there are many contaminants in it. It's not just the food and drinks we consume. There are also other substances like pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides. These substances are linked to cancer and more.
Access to recycling is limited. One of the most effective ways to reduce plastic pollution is recycling. But there are many barriers that limit recycling, such as access to recycling programs and the availability of recycling bins, especially in those developing countries.
Before we dig into the solutions to our trash problem, we can purchase quality and effective garbage trucks to handle our waste around cities and towns. CLTruck offers new garbage trucks, roll-off trucks, trash trucks of all types, containers, trailers, balers, and garbage truck parts. Please contact us here at [email protected]

Advantages of Using Quantum Hot Water Heat Pumps for Winter Season
Unpredictable weather causes the rainy and cold seasons in specific nations with four seasons to last longer than others. In general, summer's heat can be strong, but it is typically followed by violent thunderstorms and persistently cool temperatures that can force people to wear coats and scarves. There are a few health issues and building maintenance issues that can arise during the wet and chilly season. As a result, it is crucial for homeowners to put in place machinery that can always keep the building at a comfortable temperature.
While air conditioning is a viable option, many electric experts advise against it in favor of Quantum Hot Water Heat Pumps due to its higher energy use. They are more effective in most cases. Additionally, power companies offer discounts to both homes and businesses that install and utilize such pumps. This is a huge advantage, no doubt.
People who prefer heat pumps to air conditioners have a lot of options to pick from when it comes to meeting their thermal comfort requirements. There are manufacturers whose models and installations may be costly initially, but who guarantee substantial cost savings on electricity and upkeep in the long run. There are also products on the market that claim to reduce allergens like pollen and dust as well as other pollutants in the air. Furthermore, they reduce humidity, which is great for those who want to avoid breathing problems associated with very muggy environments. Mold and other fungi will also die off in an environment with low humidity.
A Quantum Commercial Hot Water Heat Pump service that offers recommendations on the best model to efficiently heat a certain room is invaluable when deciding on a heating solution. The optimal place to set up the pump to get the most of its capabilities will be revealed by such a service. For those accustomed to using Commercial Hot Water System, for instance, the placement is crucial because of potential safety issues. You should realize that a heat pump service professional can help homeowners and business owners with these problems.
During the colder months, high-quality heat pumps can be used to keep a building's interior nice and toasty without breaking the bank. Thanks to modern advancements in climate control, people can spend days inside without worrying about their energy bills.
Solar, conventional storage, tankless on demand, tankless indirect, tankless coil, and heat pumps are only some of the options for heating water.
You may save a great deal of money and reduce your energy use by paying attention to ratings of Commercial Hot Water Systems Australia when shopping for a water heating system. Solar water heating systems, for example, are good for the environment and the economy because they use renewable energy. Nonetheless, a lot rides on the criteria used to make the cut.
The effectiveness of your Energy efficient hot water Australia heating system is critical to your rating. Energy-efficient systems are typically more expensive than traditional ones. Although initially more expensive, energy-efficient systems pay for themselves over time through reduced running expenses and heating expenditures.

6.   Run an Effective Marketing Campaign
Regardless of how good your services are, you will only make money if customers know about you. You should develop an effective marketing campaign to create brand awareness and attract customers.
Being a competitive industry, you are not just marketing your services; you want to stand out as the best. That means you should use various marketing channels to increase your chances of reaching potential customers first.
Here are a few marketing techniques.
·      Establish an online website by building a user-friendly website. Optimize it using SEO to rank on the search engines like Google.
·      Use social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to create awareness of your company.
·      Design and distribute flyers highlighting your key services and why you are the best.
·      Ask previous customers to refer you to their friends or relatives.
·      Advertise your business on the search engines.
·      Take part in community events and create relationships with the locals.
Running a successful marketing campaign takes time. You need to try various strategies to determine which works for you. Based on the feedback, refine your marketing message to address your potential client's priorities and values.
But no matter how good your marketing is, you can’t succeed by underdelivering. When you get a client, deliver beyond their expectations. A positive experience with clients makes it easy for them to refer you to friends, colleagues, or relatives.
Conclusion
There’s high demand for roofing and roof repair services.  But to succeed, you need to do proper market research and analysis. You also need the right skills for excellent customer satisfaction.
From choosing a business model, creating a business plan, getting certification, assembling a team, and finding suppliers to running an efficient marketing campaign, this guide has all you need to start in the right direction.

Proper decision-making is the crux of every business
Tumblr media
All businesses need objective decision-making. This is the heart of the managerial process. These decisions are supposed to be earnest and made in the best interest of the business. All decisions that are made by any business are to make sure that the future path it treads is smooth and easy to maneuver. These decisions could be of any kind. They could be strategic, business-related, or even human resource issues. The process of decision-making is a complex one. It involves professionals at all levels. Smaller businesses involve all kinds of people from all levels. Whereas, large businesses have a dedicated team of professionals. These professionals are well-versed and trained in decision-making of all kinds. This kind of team cannot devise final decisions. What I want to emphasize, is that a decision-making process is a cumulative and consultative process. The whole process has its negatives and positives. But, in the end, the decision is finally taken in the best interest of the organization. The overall growth and future prospects are kept supreme when conducting the process. All decisions are taken for the businesses to grow. The whole managerial cadre is built for and on managerial decisions. Large and established businesses use proper and proven communication tools. This is in addition to the usual consultation process to undertake decision-making. These decisions normally have huge implications for the prospects of businesses in the future. The two main support tools for decision-making are rigorous discussions and objective consultations. Suppose, the strategic management team proposes a new business activity. This conclusion by the strategic management team comes through a chain of consultative processes. These consultative processes are made available to the team implementing the outcome of the decision. What we see here is the cumulative snowballing effect of a decision taken by another body of affairs. The decision taken by the strategic managers is to go for a new and groundbreaking business initiative. This decision by the strategic management team becomes part of the overall consultative process. A lot needs to be debated and research needs to be conducted. Then comes the point where something is finalized. All sorts of questions are weighed and answered. Is it commercially viable? Is it groundbreaking enough? Is a growth stimulant required for the proposed strategy? These questions and more evolved from the strategic management side. These would have a reflective influence on each level of meetings and managerial consultations. The final verdict is that all proposals submitted would have to go through another round of boardroom deliberations at the highest level. So, the final verdict to introduce a product or a service depends on a series of provisional decisions taken by assorted internal and external bodies. The final decision is philosophical and originated through research and consultation. The total process is a chain. One decision taken at one point will have large-scale consequences in the way that the whole business moves ahead. All managers should have the capability to taking and owning critical decisions. This is an essential attribute for managers, be it from the top level or from the middle level. It is in the nature of us humans to take decisions for our survival. This has been proven by social psychologists. Managers are supposed to be the owners of decisions that affect all others connected to the business. The existence, health, and growth of any business are directly in sync with the human endeavor to live and succeed. The real success or failure of any business depends on the quality of the decisions taken. These could either be by any individual or even the whole organization. Read the full article

Can India Become the Next Electric Mobility Superpower? - Etrio
Tumblr media
India’s EV story is being led by commercial EVs, especially in the last mile in the commercial cargo logistics space. By Kalyan C Korimerla, MD and Co-Promoter, Etrio
There is little doubt today that electric vehicles are the next big frontier of transport and mobility worldwide. In the backdrop of an increased focus on environmental and pollution concerns as well as superior operating economics especially in commercial applications, EVs have truly emerged as the most sustainable path towards decarbonizing transport and mobility globally, with users, communities, policymakers and companies backing the increased adoption of zero-emission EVs across numerous sectors and use-cases.  
Today, almost all the countries that have the highest levels of penetration of electric mobility (such as Norway, China, France, Netherlands and others) have been able to achieve this based on major contributions from native policies, innovative EV applications, as well as creating a robust ecosystem around EV applications. India, with one of the world’s largest automotive markets, has a great opportunity to be among the leaders not only in driving adoption but also in creating a world-class manufacturing ecosystem backed by sound long-term policies.
India’s EV story is being led by commercial EVs, especially in the last mile in the commercial cargo logistics space. Besides the well-documented benefits of electrification for cleaner air and for improving the environment at large, EVs are now able to offer not only superior operating economics than IC Engine based vehicles but also deliver lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). EV transition at scale in India is bound to give a major boost to our domestic economy and manufacturing ecosystem in the years to come and has the potential to generate huge employment. Furthermore, superior operating economics of commercial EVs will reduce the cost of logistics in India, which will increase the competitiveness of India in the global manufacturing context.
The nation’s apex policymaking body, Niti Aayog, has already set an ambitious vision of EV penetration of at least 30% in the passenger car segment, 70% in commercial vehicles, 40% in buses and 80% for two and three-wheelers by 2030. Furthermore, India’s Road Transport Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari has vowed to soon bring down the cost of the acquisition of EVs in India at par with petrol and diesel-based counterparts. Then to add to that, there are supportive Central Policies like FAME (Faster Adoption of Manufacturing of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles in India) and various state-specific policies – all working in tandem to help EVs in India to sustain, thrive and increase in terms of popularity and adoption. 
Etrio believes that for India to truly make a mark in the global e-mobility market as an “e-mobility superpower”, it is not enough that India captures a key share of global EV manufacturing but India should also invest in creating a robust and thriving domestic e-mobility market. In addition to the policy push, investments in EV infrastructure, development of diverse use cases for EV deployment and creation of a viable ecosystem. To realize the fullest potential of EVs in the country’s commercial segment, innovative EV OEMs such as Etrio are playing a pivotal role by taking a data-driven approach towards designing ground-up vehicles and enabling more use cases for EV deployment.
Etrio’s e-3W and e-4W products are specifically designed and optimized to address the last-mile use cases of its customers in e-commerce (last-mile delivery) delivery, intra-city logistics, agri-logistics, waste collection, pharma cold chain logistics, gas cylinder delivery and other emerging application areas. Notably, Etrio is India’s first EV Company to retrofit commercial vehicles (LCVs) for intra-city logistics, as well as the first in India to launch FAME-certified ground-up L5 e-3Ws.
Etrio believes in utilizing technology to the fullest to deliver customer experience not only in helping a traditional ICE vehicle driver to transition to EV but also in ensuring that today’s fleet managers can replace ICE vehicles with EVs with limited disruption and improved safety. Going forward, they will continue to understand the customers’ needs deeply and will deploy the latest EV technologies through its upcoming and existing range of vehicles in order to help our customers both, in using EVs in more and more routes, as well as in seamless transition from ICE vehicles to EVs. 
With a comprehensive approach from building reliable and intelligent products and reducing the total cost of ownership to ensuring a delightful customer experience, Etrio has already established a strong portfolio of customers and clients countrywide, while also working along with 30+ global companies. They are now in the process of acquiring new customers and are projecting 10 x growths in the next few fiscal years. From continuously experimenting with new use cases across several domains/sectors for its EV-fleets to serving the transport and logistics requirements for both intercity and intracity mobility, Etrio is working and innovating across both ends of the spectrum, i.e. creating a viable ecosystem and diverse use cases for EV usage, and thereby delivering on each and every front when it comes to enabling India’s EV-led transformation story.

Solarmax Vs Sunrun - Which One is Best?
Tumblr media
Purchasing solar panels might be the most beneficial decision you've ever made, not only ecologically but also financially. The cost and production advancements are gradually making solar power panels a viable option not just for large businesses but also for private customers. You should congratulate yourself if you have decided to purchase one for your home or office.   However, the next major issue is deciding on which solar panel brand is best for you.
Several companies are offering solar panels. For a newbie, this might be a wholly puzzling decision to make, as solar panels are quite expensive. The ultimate decision would be based on a variety of factors, including your requirements, budget, and a trusted brand, that will not only assist you with your setup but will also be available to serve its guarantee.
Company Profile of SolarMax
SolarMax is a brand of Power Highway that has been providing cost-effective renewable energy products to the corporate, residential, and commercial sectors in the United States since 2007. The purpose is to dedicate themselves to a healthy world with a low-carbon economy.
This brand specializes in designing and selling  Solar Panels, Inverters, Batteries, Charge Controllers, related accessories, gadgets, and Complete Solar Solutions.
Company Profile of Sunrun
Sunrun creates solar panel configurations tailored to a roof's shape using satellite images, offering homeowners greater control over the appearance and function of their constructions. The company included a domestic sun battery garage service named Brightbox.
Sunrun also provides a wide range of solar financing options to its customers. Sunrun's rapid expansion has been enabled by catering to a huge customer base, but it has also presented challenges that have harmed the company's online reputation.
Short explanations of Solarmax and Sunrun's services
Solarmax and Sunrun have been providing top-quality solar panel services to their customer base. In the following points, we will describe the services provided by these two companies-
SolarMax Solar Services
SolarMax gives solar panel set-up services for residential and business clients. For Solar Panel Installation, SolarMax uses a five-step approach that provides service from consultation to installation. The service includes-
Consultation: Before offering a quote to clients, SolarMax calls for a session to research your own home’s strength intake and sun readiness. This session would often include a financial savings evaluation, as well as a discussion about power requirements and consumption.
Financing: SolarMax gives several financing alternatives, such as in-residence loans, and discusses financing earlier than coming into the layout phase.
Design: SolarMax assigns a skilled solar panel engineer to your own home to lay out a machine that contours your roof and strength requirement.
Permitting: Since an allowance is needed earlier than set up begins, a SolarMax representative will attain this allowance for you via way of means of filing the essential programs and paying the specified fees.
Installation: Once your machine has been developed and the necessary permits have been obtained, a technician may begin the installation. SolarMax also provides a company setup that provides solar panels for businesses of any size. Similar to a household solar panel installation, an assessment of your company's power consumption is required before creating a machine that is ready for installation.
Solar Battery Backup
SolarMax also provides power garages for home and commercial clients to set up services. Solar batteries provide a way for home customers to capture excess power during a blackout or other disaster. SolarMax provides an LG 10 kilowatt-hour (kWh) household battery that provides the following benefits to customers:

An Energy Efficient Future
Chapters 15 and 16 focused on nonrenewable and renewable energy sources, what they are, how they work and their effects. It also outlined our dependency on nonrenewable energy and how if we do not invest in alternatives then we will quickly be faced with serious problems. The energy sector is extremely crucial to the environment, economics and politics, and this intersection makes our current energy situation a very sensitive and multifaceted one. The United States has always been dependent on the energy industry, from coal mining to the Industrial Revolution to today where energy makes up one-tenth of America’s economy. 
Our lifestyles have been suited around inefficient use of nonrenewable sources to contribute to an economy that depends on depleting the earth of its resources. And these companies use political power and lobbying to prevent government intervention. Considering how the industry is dominated by major corporations, it is clear how blatantly profit driven it is and there is no regard for the environmental and social impacts these companies are subjecting people to. The textbook suggests that full cost pricing is key to regulating energy companies and would also allocate resources and attention to renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, moving water and more. However before the shift from nonrenewable to renewable can occur, there would be a difficult period in which oil, coal and natural gas would be extremely expensive due to its highly dangerous environmental impact. Expanding the use of nuclear power, which is considerably less damaging to the environment, is also a costly endeavor as it has a high cost of building and operating the nuclear fuel cycle, and has low net energy. Net energy refers to the amount of high quality energy a resource has minus the energy it takes to process it. Many decisions about energy, which are the best and most efficient, are based off net energy because it is economically and environmentally viable. Although funding and research can be invested in certain energy sources to better technology and increase the net energy, as has been done with nuclear power, yet it proves extremely costly and results are not guaranteed. However if we are going to make a change to shift from nonrenewable to renewable sources then we must begin a gradual process now. 
By taking funds and government subsidies and tax breaks from coal, oil and natural gas, it will give companies an incentive to either change how they extract and process energy to make it less taxing on the earth or explore new sources of energy all together. Reducing energy waste is a huge factor in sustainably using energy and becoming efficient. A whopping 84% of commercial energy is wasted, most of it becoming low quality waste heat that cannot be used. The loss stems from our use of inefficient technologies and living in homes and buildings that need excess energy to account for poor insulation. We also have a huge dependence on cars that eat up a large percentage of crude oil and spits it into the atmosphere. This astounding statistic is one that should incentivize both companies and consumers to become efficient because it is a huge waste of money and resources. There is a bright future for technology in the energy sector, especially when it comes to being energy efficient. A better electrical grid would be a great first step towards a greener future, and the current grid is very outdated and inefficient. America is already at work to convert to a smart grid that would cut down on loss, better resist outages and could connect to wind and solar farms to bring renewable energy to millions of homes. Limiting our reliance on energy wasting cars would also greatly improve our energy use. The government could allocate funds to make green cars or electrical cars more accessible, or invest in pubic transportation. Cities can also contribute to become more walkable. In certain areas, like Houston, are dominated by roads and have poor public transportation which makes it nearly impossible to get around without a car. Homes can also become greener by having energy efficient appliances, good insulation to moderate the temperature, windows, and more could limit how much energy is needed to power the home. If we start now to create a period of new green energy consumption, we will curb three of the biggest plights to the environment, air pollution, climate change and ocean acidification. It will also save the economy and consumers billions of dollars, create more jobs and ensure a future for the next generations.

 So far, a good study of their living and eating habits and the right weapons can be effective in preventing them from causing more harm, and in some cases, totally destroy them. Here are some methods that could do the work for you against these creatures.  
 Non-chemical approach
 When the old chemicals that were deemed dangerous were withdrawn from the market, these were the first of the new wave of built-in products. The companies providing them trained people to install them inspect them and grant warranties.
 After extensive research and tests, they developed a range of adhesives, sealants and other fixing methods into their systems.
 Part of the building process
 Further, they coaxed the building industry to treating termite protection into a scheduled stage of the building process (including seminars and trainings of proper personnel) and not as an afterthought.
 These methods remain available today, are still viable, and have the advantage of being chemical-free.
 Reticulation
 Termite reticulation is simply the convenient re-application of termiticide through an irrigation system like water irrigation. Some of the products were developed as the old chemicals were going.
 One advantage is that they are cost-effective and simple to install and simple to schedule for the builders. They are an improvement of the hand-sprayed chemicals. They require replenishments every few years and suppliers also provide on-going warranty.
 Impregnated membranes
 Treated termite membranes are plastic strips that had been loaded with an insecticide. Several brands are used.
 Some membranes sandwiches are treated textile between two thin plastic sheets. Others actually include insecticide in the plastic itself during manufacture.
 The product range is generally expected to last the lifetime of the building, and can easily be inspected and installed in buildings in many convenient ways.
 They are cost effective to supply. Once installed, they can be undisturbed and do their jobs for the long haul without any service requirements.
 These impregnated membranes are repellent to termites which cannot contact or explore the membrane. This is heartening to know that if a membrane is inadvertently damaged during the building process, termites may not be able to find the breach.
 There is an additional security of adhesives and sealants that come with most brands. These are mostly today ‘active’, meaning that they also contain insecticide. They increase the flexibility and security of these systems.
