> But what's the alternative? Burning coal and importing gas? Energy storage. See my last paragraph. It's where a considerable amount of research and capital investment has been going and there are already numerous systems in use.

It's cheap to manufacture, nontoxic, easily serviced, easily scaled. Also, you can phone up your local solar installer today and get a battery storage system for your house or business. Some require a grid, others have transfer switches and will happily run off-grid. This has been the case for a number of years now.
