No it is not solved. Grid-scale batteries are absolutely not being mass-produced today. Let's stick to the truth here. I would LOVE for this to be the case, ho

No it is not solved. Grid-scale batteries are absolutely not being mass-produced today. Let's stick to the truth here.
I would LOVE for this to be the case, however. Adding this again so that I am not lumped together with the coal thumpers.
What exists, TO BE BUILT that is, is battery farms, sure, but they are nowhere nere big enough. They are nowhere nere close enough to compensate the factor applied to wind farm energy generation. But let's hope good progress can be made in the accumulation aspect of intermittent energy production.
- bryanlarsen 29d agoIntermittent production is currently being solved by natural gas and coal production. With very rare exceptions these are not being shut down. Therefore, the immense amounts of wind, solar and batteries that are being added to the grid are purely additive. They are making the grid cleaner & cheaper, they're not impeding in any way the ability of other generation sources to cover the gaps. Once wind/solar/batteries reaches about 90-95% of production, it'll become harder economically and technically to increase that number. I'd love to have that problem, we're far from 90% today.
