Power used to be a location.
You could drive past it. Protest it. Point at it.A dam. A coal plant. A control tower.
They were loud. Polluting. Visible. And human.But now?
Your power comes from systems you can’t see.
Batteries in neighborhoods. Algorithms in clouds.There’s no front gate. No tour. No person in charge.
Just software routing current and adjusting demand.When energy becomes invisible, so does accountability.
You can’t occupy a server rack. You can’t demand answers from a decentralized ledger.This is not a conspiracy. It’s a convenience.
The grid is cleaner now. More efficient. Quieter.But the cost of invisibility is detachment.
You don’t know where your power lives.
Or if it could leave.
