If every endpoint has enough storage to go days without being online, then that’s going to distribute a very large cost to the edge of the grid. Part of the reason that we have a power grid is so that we can pool usage and build capacity based on overall statistics, no absolute peak. Additionally, the cost to operate the grid is based upon the size of the distribution network and maximum carrying capacity. If we all build local storage that takes us off the grid 90% of the time, we are still going to have to pay the utility roughly the same amount to maintain the network as we do today. Check your power bill, the generation costs are probably less than half of your monthly total, so the rest is going to come back to you one way or the other.
