Someone should tell MIT about battery storage.
Yeah but once people see the balance sheet in the red that's a big no no. If only someone smart, like maybe went to MIT could explain how it could be profitable overall.....like humans living being a profitiable side effect.
Batteries are already being used profitably all over the world.
germany is developing a lot of hydrogen options, which is a surprisingly good strategy in a lot of fields. like, steel and cement can be produced with hydrogen alone, and germany is learning how to store and transport hydrogen through pipelines quickly.
Or, if the topology allows, use the excess electricity to fill up reservoir located up high so that it can drive turbines when needed. Organic energy storage is really cool
Yes, I consider this as a variation of hydro dams.
Use excess solar to turn the wind turbines into fans and reverse global warming
I want those salt batteries to kick off for mass home storage. Less likely to explode like lithium.
