“there are already ideas to buy back car batteries that have lost capacity to use in massive storage banks.”

why buy new batteries when you can buy up internally shorted ones that won’t hold a charge and piss away your power so much faster...absolutely brilliant I should have thought of using bad batteries in all my stuff.

I’ve got a number of old car batteries that don’t work. Now I just need to find a liberal who’ll buy them.

$3000 a year...Hmmmm...I’ll buy a fleet of vehicles on credit, let the power company make my payments...quit my job and live off of the rest and deduct enough fleet depreciation that I’ll never pay taxes again. Maybe I will teach perpetual motion physics at Green Mountain College with all my free time.

“Those batteries have some residual capacity and that residual capacity is actually valuable,” Tesla CEO Martin Eberhard told Green Wombat last week. “At a substation you take a whole stack of three-quarter dead batteries and just run them into the ground an then chuck them into recycling.”
