The world’s first-to-market electric pickup truck, it turns out, isn’t from Ford, General Motors, or a late-to-market Tesla Cybertruck. Rivian, despite a near-$100 billion market cap, has miles and years to go to become “the next Tesla,” the unfortunate albatross that gets hung from the neck of many electric vehicle newbies.

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid.

For example, Brookhaven has a synchrotron light source where you can sign up and it doesn’t cost you any money to use the facility. So for example, ideal gas law says that this should happen, right?
