> Calling out long duration storage is another red flag. How much of that is needed? In giga watt hours please. Nobody ever bothers to qualify that. That includes you. (No numbers just assumptions that all will be fine) Worth noting that there is no “required” amount of kWh of storage, people can get used to blackouts and/or real time prices spikes and/or adjust habits (reduce usage). Just to have some numbers: 1kWh of battery costs 139$ US uses 11,267 kWh/year/capita of electricity alone. Thats 30 kWh per day. So 1 day electricity storage costs 4000$/capita of investment. Total energy consumption in US is 295 million BTU/capita/year, which is 236 kWh/capita/day. To cover for one day of all energy, US needs 32000$/capita/person investment. In current setting, Oil/Uranium/wood act as a kind of battery, and we are very used to having large “batteries”.
