Jackery is making solar power actually beautiful. At CES, they unveiled solar roof tiles, a home battery system, and even a Solar Gazebo with 2 kW of panels that generates 10 kWh daily.
The gazebo runs $12-15K and pairs with battery storage for backup power. It's not utility-scale, but it's the kind of creative design that could make clean energy irresistible to everyday consumers.

Jackery Brings Creativity & Design To Solar & Energy Storage - CleanTechnica
While walking the floor at CES, Jackery attracted my attention. Jackery started as a portable battery power company 14 years ago. There are many competitors in that space now offering high-quality products. Increasingly, they blur the line between portable battery storage and home storage, with solar-integrated scalable home batteries that can be taken with you when you need them. Jackery’s new HomePower 3600 Plus is a great example.

I've often wondered if a Canadian EV "Kei Car" type program would help the country achieve zero emission goals, provide affordable transportation, and reduce grid lock in our cities.
In 1949, Japan created a special category of keijidosha (light vehicles) created for affordability and maneuverability in dense cities. The Kei car quickly became popular despite strict limits on dimensions (length, width, height) and engine displacement (under 660cc). They were given unique license plates for enforcement purposes and had tax benefits for owners.
What if an "Ion" vehicle category was created in Canada:
- must be manufactured in Canada
- minimum 100Km range, suitable for any urban commute
- limited to 50Km/hr
- restricted to street use, not to be used on highways
- size restrictions, perhaps Smart Car sized for personal vehicles, larger for commercial vehicle category
How many city-dwelling Canadians would buy a cheap EV to run errands and give the finger to big oil?

Indoor track run. Debated running outside, but the wind started to pick up, and rain was in the forecast (plus random ice and ICE). I figured out the foot pod, so the Garmin is tracking my track runs inside now, somewhat accurately it seems.
Hoping to get back to 5 days of running in a week (probably not this one, lol), my health is not doing so great; cholesterol and BP are high, and asthma and chronic pain have been a bit of a struggle. I weigh more than I have ever weighed in my lif…
