I used to think big batteries were just for short-term backup. Didn't expect California to reach the point where they can actually support part of the grid.
Before, when the wind stopped or the sun went down, you'd need gas to kick in. Now, in many cases, batteries are enough.
That said, I do wonder what happens when all these batteries get old. Are we just pushing the next problem down the road?
