How much battery would you need to sustain Germany 3-4 days?

No, obviously certain industries with different power requirements will be treated differently in the grid... just like they are now. Doesn't take a lot of imagination to realize that. Furthermore, there are some interesting and not-too-exotic designs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32006791 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32006791) that seem better suited to industrial high-energy applications than your typical lithium-ion. In fact, lithium only makes sense in mobile applications: you can use heavier (and higher capacity) materials for storage which doesn't need to move at all. > How much battery would you need to sustain Germany 3-4 days? Bad faith argument that misinterprets the point of energy storage to the point that it's arguing against something that is not relevant here.
