Major
activities
NRC Part 57 comment, state licensing precedent letter, PUC interconnection & microgrid docket
8–12 kW PV, 30–40 kWh wall storage, critical-loads panel + spare breaker, $3k shelf node on open weights
5–15 neighbor co-op LLC, shared storage, executed interconnection agreements, harvest-skin pilots
Watch: Helion delivers Microsoft’s electrons; Avalanche-class device beats Rider’s wall; tape price-temp curve bends
Neighborhood SMES ring, co-op micro-fusion unit, deuterium fuel (grams/yr), wire the waiting breaker
Resources
Time, postage, the Part 1 petition text
Licensed electrician, standard permits, ODOE rebate cycle, financing
Attorney for co-op formation, PUC filings, member capital
None — keep the co-op shell alive and panel capacity warm
Co-op capital, cryocooler service, tape supply chain, 2026 legal groundwork

Must go
right
Nothing — every action is a filing any citizen can make
Nothing — every line item is a purchase order
Utility and PUC cooperation — the reason Illuminate filed first
At least one of the three signals turns green
Pairing glue (77 K tape) and/or breakeven physics; licensing precedent holds
Pain
points
Comment windows close quietly; dockets move at docket speed
Federal credit sunset (Dec 2025); December deficit; interconnection paperwork
Net-metering rollback risk; free-rider governance; the skin sips, it doesn’t pour
Hype outruns data; Rider’s wall has held 60 years; Tc may stall
Cryo overhead forever; contact terminations; if gates stay shut, this stays a socket

Stations 01–03 require zero physics breakthroughs and build the entire socket. Stations 04–05 are bets that may never pay — and if they never do, you still own a house that makes, stores, and thinks with its own power.
