Think about the billions we've already spent on batteries and less than an hour after darkness on the east coast and we're getting just 1% from batteries, how many hundreds of billions is it going to cost to get adequate storage? Will make nuclear look very cheap indeed

Just to cover the fossil fuels right now we need 77 times more battery capacity, and that's just for this one minute, we need to get through another 12 hours of darkness just for today
