The opposite will actually happen. The rise of renewable energies will decrease energy cost dramatically. In some countries solar generation is already cheaper .

I bought a AirMega last year. It always runs on "quiet mode" and the PM2.5 is below 5 all the time in my 900sqf apartment. http://airmega.com
cyrildorsaz··on Hacked my Nest to send the Heat and Fan commands wirelessly to my furnace
The NEST is connected to a Arduino board that receives the Heat and Fan commands from the Nest. It then sends the commands via wifi (local network) to another Arduino board connected to my furnace. I had to do that because I have a very old wire in the wall that I couldn't change.

I'm French :) For now it's only a theory that is being investigated by the justice department.
cyrildorsaz··on Tesla Model S and Model 3 comparison
I shared this note 2 months ago on my linkedin. Still valid today. https://www.linkedin.com/hp/update/6256148575126986752

Tesla is facing a potential big problem. New buyers are holding off and are waiting to see the final specs and price of the Model 3. This could harm a lot Tesla sales until Elon Musk reveals to the public the Model 3.

I also believe Tesla did a mistake by naming the Model with a number. In the mind of many people, 3 is what comes after 1 and 2 (S & X). People are used to this because of the iPhone naming convention.

Tesla is reaffirming that the Model 3, despite its name, is not a version 3. It will be the entry level of the brand and if people want to buy the best performing car that Tesla can produce, they should buy a S or a X now.
