Depending on what type of battery you use or how long you want to store it, it can be cheaper or cost competitive. But the same factors apply as well, production capacities are not catching up fast enough. Still, The end of fossil fuels is inevitable, as renewable sectors keep growing. Also, the potential for small nuclear reactors or maybe even fusion could change this even faster.
If politics had backed renewables a few decades ago just as much as they back fossil fuels, we wouldn't even need to have these discussions.
- willcipriano 3y ago> Still, The end of fossil fuels is inevitable, I agree, but until we are using renewables exclusively (as in the first world) wagging a finger at places where the average income is a tenth of ours is really unacceptable. They can't afford batteries yet and they deserve power in the evening as much as we do.
