> Fortunately we do have cheap, dense batteries that are being deployed on a massive scale with new solar. I would not consider that cheap. I would not consider that highly efficient. It is a step in the right direction, but it's not enough > The idea that we are not currently, today, deploying massive amounts of batteries everywhere with today's technology is just plain ignorance Nowhere did I say we weren't. They just simply aren't good enough for our needs. We can't get there without this intermediate step - and it _is_ doing good and helping humanity. But we're simply not there and won't be for at least a decade. > take Texas's grid, which is one of the few places where storage is allowed to compete on its own cost merits You mean the Texas grid that keeps failing and sticking people with $1000 monthly power bills? Not a great example lol
