    I generally dislike working at a shuffle. My work day is over much faster if I’m in a bit of a rush throughout. I don’t see it as me getting paid for a certain amount of work. I see it as me selling my time. Between 08:00 and 16:00, what I do during that time is up to my boss. I don’t own that time, in exchange I get my pay.

    I live in a country with actual workers rights though. Might make a difference.




  • Possibly, question is which one fits a given area the best. Pumped hydro needs some place high to pump it. Many places are incredibly flat, but in hilly or mountainy places it has some clear advantages. Thermal has the issue of losing the heat. You need to insulate a “battery” a lot, and at some point it just becomes incredibly expensive for very little results. It’s not impossible, but it can be a very expensive solution. LiFePO4 has the drawback of needing lithium, which is pretty rare in most of the world. If what the article says is true, the “water battery” seems to be pretty inexpensive to build with quite available ressources, but the drawback is that it likely needs more space than other options.
