You want a 320 GWh installation?
You do realize HVDC grids can do 3,000km energy travel, right? That's basically anywhere to anywhere, continental US. There's already installs like the PDCI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_DC_Intertie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_DC_Intertie that take 3GW from north oregon to LA.
There's even transcontinental energy links in the works like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia-Asia_Power_Link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia-Asia_Power_Link

That's closer to 1% of what California needs by itself then even 1% of the USA's need. We aren't even taking into account the large and continual growth in electricity demand yet either.

- realusername 1y ago> so the 3.2GWh battery grid storage array, in operation, this is still 1/100th what is needed? Unless I'm mistaken, the US consumption is 500GWh/day with peaks at 700GW/day, so 3GWh isn't going to do much

- realusername 1y ago... and so we're back to my first comment, a 100x improvement is still needed for this kind of usage. 3GWh isn't even at a proof of concept stage yet for this kind of usage. Even 10x that would barely be called a POC.
