Comment on Drowning in grid scale batteries

This seems to imply that you just replace all fossil fuel energy sources with batteries which does not even make sense. Once the batteries have been discharged, how would you recharge them?
What should actually be done is scale up renewable power generation and then you'd use the the batteries to balance out the difference between production and consumption, which takes a lot less batteries than trying to replace energy generation with energy storage (which, again, would not even work).

Have you not used batteries before? When they run out you throw them away and get fresh ones
Or sometimes you save them for a while and try to dispose of them properly, but then find out most of those programs have been cancelled, so you wait until you move and then throw them out all at once
