  • Also grid storage doesn’t have the sort of deep, rapid discharge/charge cycles that EVs go through. Once an EV battery is no good in the car, it still has about 80% of it’s useable capacity left. Meaning, there will always be a need for “new” EV batteries, but grid storage would saturate and leave surplus batteries. Not to mention, as the grid storage batteries fall out of their useful life for that purpose, they can be recycled into new EV batteries and begin the cycle anew.





  • I feel like that makes a little bit of sense… if you don’t want to be employed, should you be counted in an unemployment statistic? It effectively turns the statistic into a representation of people looking for, but unable to find, employment.

    For example, if there is a household where one person is the bread-winner and the other is a stay at home parent, should the stay at home parent be counted as unemployed if they’re not planning on being employed?

    Another example is a day-labourer who works for cash. Even if they are reporting and paying taxes, they’re not really “employed” in the classic sense, but definitely not “unemployed” if they are working every day.
