When I was a boy I learned about this cool new technology of storing energy in chemical reactions. Fascinating stuff.
Super convenient for balancing the power demand curve.
Cheap too. (See economics examples from southern Australia)
You could even deploy it at the edge by simply splitting the cost with residents. Imagine if everyone drew power during the demand trough and then replayed it during the demand peak. Now grid balancing is way easier for providers, green power can produce as much as it wants whenever it wants.
Although every country should invest in home-grown battery technology just in case China bites off Taiwan and we gotta cut them out of the global economy too.
