Amazing video by Technology Connections. It's a long one, but don't miss his 30 minute angry rant at the end.
I will always upvote technology connections, I have watched so many videos of his about things I would have thought i couldn't care less about and enjoyed them all!

Anyone willing to share a tl;dw?

Thanks for mentioning the last 30 minutes, but for additional clarity, there is a fake ending 30 minutes before the actual ending. Please watch those last 30 minutes!
Good clarification!

A technology connections video with a 30 minite rant??
watches video
oh. -
First hour: Developing a detailed intuition for exactly how solar and wind energy work and what makes them so much better than oil (without mentioning climate change or pollution)
Last 30 min: Establishing a baseline moral framework that everyone can get behind, and explaining that under this framework a revolution against the Trump regime would be entirely justified but at a minimum we absolutely must vote against Republicans in the 2026 and 2028 elections.
As someone in the comments put it: he explains solar and then goes nuclear.

My highlight was the non lightening brake lights on electric cars when they are recuperating

Damn, I love his stuff anyway, but this time I'm looking forward to watching it just to see how he incorporates a call for revolution against his government into a video about solar panels, haha

Who's lying, and about what?

Gotta watch the video to find out.

That pisses me off to no end. The car knows how fast it is going, it has to show you. Just make the lights come on based on deceleration, regardless of how it happens. It doesn't even need dedicated hardware. It's just lazy coding and development.

Not finished it yet but it annoys me so much that for some reason it is VASTLY cheaper for me to buy a briefcase or two full of batteries for my house than it is for the same to be done in bulk at the scale of the grid.
Just batteries would cut my energy costs to about a third of their current rate by charging them at cheaper off peak prices. Isn't it insane that this is a feature of the current energy market?

Thanks for the detailed and thorough response

It is in some markets. California PG&e has it, Texas is offering subsidies in some cities for it, and I've heard that it's becoming popular in the UK too (octopus iirc).

Isn't that just the standard format for technology connections?
Looks at runtime
Oh, this is gonna be a good one!

I forget the exact rates but the time-of-use pricing from PG&E was pretty good. Cheaper rates from 9pm to about 6am. After getting used to it running large appliances like dishwasher and laundry became easy.
