Tell me about it! Opinion pieces huh? At least the investor guy’s solution isn’t using gas powered plants.
And how has the feasibility of battery storage skyrocketed exactly? We haven’t built that many at all in the last 13 years since the article was written. It’s always a promise of much better battery technology in the next decade. We don’t have enough lithium mining capacity as it is, especially when we also want to make the transition to EVs and sodium batteries require even more factories that still have to be built.
How about not betting everything on unproven tech that still needs to be researched, where battery factories still have to be built, storage facilities have to be built, and those all have to be individually connected to the grid and provide enough stability to last us winter nights after an overcast day with little wind…
Does that really seem like skyrocketing feasibility to you?
