He calculated, “They [CA] would need roughly something in the range of 54,000 GWH of grid-scale battery storage, which at current prices would run around $10 trillion.”
Note that this is nearly half the size of the entire debt of the United States.
Previously, in my report, Green Nightmare for Americans, it was determined that it would cost the United States $7.1 trillion to merely build the wind and solar plant needed to supply the country with electricity, without trying to determine the cost of storage because the necessary storage technology hadn’t yet been invented.
It should be noted that Secretary of Energy, Moniz, an Obama appointee, said,
“Batteries will never be the solution for long-term storage.”
The estimate of $10 trillion to provide the necessary storage for California will bankrupt the state.
Not to mention use up all our precious resources & front end the C02 buildup (the very thing they are trying to reduce by making it magnitudes worse in the hope of pegging back to where we are now)
