I know. There are many solutions to this

Are you proposing that the sun may not shine and the wind not blow anywhere at all for months?

What? You don't have Google? Options I know of (other than batteries and pumped hydro) : Compressed Air Energy Storage, Thermal Energy Storage,, Fly wheels, Hydrogen, Supercapacitors, Gravitational Storage

Wind is always blowing somewhere

No, you're right. It's not an option for everyone. Which is why I mentioned that there are many other solutions which are similar and over production which is simpler and cheaper

Pumped hydro? Or one of the many other non battery storage options, or just over production

Curious to hear you say this. I live in NZ and cyanide waste is always raised as an objection to gold mining.

Like every other nuclear power plant ever built

The wind is always blowing somewhere and overproduction is cheaper than batteries

[–] kaffiene 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Has this been demonstrated to last as long as the waste is radioactive?

Overproduction is cheaper than batteries
