A review of available techno-fixes leads to two unavoidable conclusions. First, our problem is not just carbon emissions per se; it’s also how we humans inhabit our planet (too many of us using too much stuff too fast). And second, we need non-technological ways of addressing the climate crisis.

energy storage (e.g., batteries)

Energy storage isn't batteries.

The phrase "e.g." means "for example" and is used to describe a subset of the previous term. It doesn't need to mean the exact same thing.

We can say things like "humans consume resources (e.g., fresh water)" and that would be a valid sentence.

Plus it's fair to expect that in the next 10 years, the vast majority of grid scale energy storage worldwide is going to be electrical batteries. Gravity storage just can't compete except in very limited geographical and geological circumstances.
