"Batteries are easy to mass-produce." There's people here saying the battery tech isn't ready yet for large scale grid storage of solar/wind. Is that untrue?

  California has 250MW of battery facilities online right now. If you can do 250MW, you can do 50GW. The CAISO roadmap for energy storage does not list any technological risks.

    Not saying it can't be done, but is it cheaper than nuclear?

      BTW, nuclear energy will be cheaper with massive power storage, because nuclear power can be accumulated at night then.

  Take a look at my reply to him to see some unfortunately grim stats on this issue. I would argue nuclear is currently our only choice.
