Show me a country running off grid scale batteries. Then out of those 0 countries, show me one that's as big as Australia.
How about california, the biggest regional economy in the world

Bro you are extremely wrong on this topic
It has twice the population and 3x the GDP of Australia. If California can source 42% of its electricity from batteries, Australia could easily do 100%.
And China has even more. They plan 180 gigawatts of battery storage.
You are extremely incorrect. Grid scale batteries already exist. They aren’t even uncommon anymore. Your scaremongering belong in 2002.
Also for things like heating a home at night, those sand batteries can store heat from excess electricity generated and you can pump it to entire neighborhoods.
