Really ? Somehow I find that very hard to believe.
" All of the big batteries combined can't hold up the grid in the case of an emergency event, so what's the point? "
What are you talking about ? Which batteries ? Post the sizes, the locations, the numbers. Explain how we have enough battery storage constructed.
Post examples where the grid was supposed to be held up by these batteries you speak of ?
You do know that the batteries role is not to support the grid for a defined period of time don't you ?
It seems you don't actually know how a renewable energy plus storage grid works.
Btw. SA achieved over 60% of it's power from renewables last year with almost no energy storage at all. Even at this early stage. Imagine how good that will be by 2030 when they go to 100%.
