I was raised to work hard... so much so, that it's become a part of my identity
So many of us are the unwitting products of generations of indoctrination

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

So... It's okay to use our taxes to help corporations that spend more than they make, but doing the same for disadvantaged people is bad?

What happens to EV batteries after they're done? You reuse them as power banks for solar and grid storage until their true end-of-life! And then you can recycle them afterwards! I love batteries!
Today on Volts: Redwood Materials, the biggest battery recycler in the US, has launched Redwood Energy, which will gather used batteries & hook them up to power banks to serve as grid-scale storage until they're depleted. I talk with the CTO about the logistics & potential of second-life batteries.
Can "second life" EV batteries work as grid-scale energy storage?
Colin Campbell explains how Redwood drains every drop of capacity from used batteries before they are recycled.
