Do we though? Can’t we ramp up local storage and production with solar and batteries on and in buildings?
Batteries are expensive, short lived, less efficient, and polluting. They’re better than fossil fuels, but if they can be avoided they should.
Solar also isn’t very practical in CBDs, so you end up generating excess power in more rural areas and transporting it into densely populated areas, like most other commodities.
Yes, but companies want handouts to put solar on their roof (and for the batteries too)
