5500 GwH seems to be the yearly batteries manufacturing capacities projected in 2030. That is what will be produced every year, not the total installed capacity of batteries. And as mentioned earlier those batteries could technically inject 5500 GwH (+ 5000 GwH of 2029, 4500 GwH of 2028...) in the grid every day...
- spupe 4y agoMy energy usage estimate is also based on daily use. And even if we extrapolate it to a 10x increase, 55000 GwH, and it could be available now, we would not even achieve the same levels that nuclear already does just in the US, today. Every discussion we have on debating batteries as alternative to nuclear must tackle this obvious issue.
