I agree with pretty much all of this. If anything I think it somewhat understates the case. We’re going to need a lot more clean power than current electricity demand suggests if and when we make a real effort to reduce fossil fuel consumption in chemical production and transportation, and the latter will necessitate building a whole lot of some form of energy storage whether or not batteries get much cheaper.
