They don't need to solve month-long dunkelflaute. You burn a little natural gas for that. The priority for climate change mitigation is to get to 97% carbon free soon, rather than 100% carbon free in 30 years. The AUC of emissions is all that matters. Also, both li-on and sodium are cheap and getting cheaper, so the latter being more expensive currently is kind of moot.

> You burn a little natural gas for that. For that you need to have 100% of idle capacity just sitting there. > The priority for climate change mitigation is to get to 97% carbon free soon No, it's not. The priority is to shake down consumers to get as much money to Greenie cronies as possible. That's why Germany is straightforwardly _subsidizig_ new natural gas power plants. With a pinkie-promise to be "hydrogen ready", maybe sometime in 2030-s.
