> So the name of the game is now storage. If I look at my own country (Sweden) at what is currently being planned on a political level and invested in, the name of the game is to use fossil fuels under a plethora of different schemes which hides the fact. The first and primary scheme is to call the energy grid free of fossil fuel if the total amount of renewable energy being exported each year exceed that of imported fossil fueled energy. Find someone willing to buy the energy at some point in year, and you can subtract the numbers from fossil fuel usage during other parts of the year. In order to sustain increased capacity the government uses tax money to invest into better power line connections between countries for higher export and imports. The second strategy is to use tax money to pay fossil fueled power plants directly, but rather than calling it a subsidy which would have a negative connotation, we call it "reserve energy plan". Fossil fuel plants first get paid for just being a fossil fuel plant that is ready to start the generators at demand, and then they can get paid a second time for any energy they do generate. The third scheme is to use fossil fuels to create artificial fertilizers, grow and harvest biomass using machines that operate on fossil fuels, transport the biomass on ships that travel on fossil fuels, and then call it carbon neutral when we burn it. Storage for wind farms (or the much smaller portion of solar that we have) is not being planned, invested or built. It is not being discussed on a political level. No tax money direct to it. I would like it if storage was cheaper than the above schemes because then maybe they would go away. I do not want tax money to be given fossil fuel. I would prefer if a ultimatum was set in the energy sector so fossil fuels no longer is a possible choice. Under such ultimatum we would find out very quickly which of the choices between storage and nuclear is cheapest, and then it would hopefully see some actually investment.
