I just switched to using Kagi recently and I like it a lot so far! Theres a free tier for 100/searches a month you can use to figure out if you like it.
I remember reading that statistically it isuch more likely that you kill a friend or family member with a gun than a home invader while trying to defend you're home. Instead of worrying about hypothetical 'what ifs' that are very unlikely to happen maybe we should stay anchored in reality.
Is there any more in-depth analysis to show how many EVs would be needed to make this feasible, how this would work with time of day use of power from commutes vs generation from solar power, how long the grid could stay powered this way, impact on consumers range, etc? I think the concept seems simple at first but would it actually be resiliant relying on just EV batteries? A cloudy week could see everyone run out of power, for example.
I think the point he is trying to make is that basic needs being conflated with investments is bad, which is a fair point. If rentseeking behavior was much more heavily regulated we would see a sudden spike in housing supply as it wouldn't be an investment in a passive income source anymore.
Fun
