I think over the long run as battery tech gets better and cheaper, this form of energy storage will likely become redundant, but in the short term, we need all the energy storage solutions we can find, and this is a cheaper solution that works on repurposed land that's not going to be used for much else. So in the short term, I see merit in this until battery tech gets really advanced and cheap that you can buy enough to power your home for like a month and it cost very little, so quite some time off lol.

Wind turbines actually generate a lot of energy in winter, especially in Europe, and with a mix of wind and solar and if there are enough of them, I don't think we need anywhere near 6 months battery storage as that is very likely overkill, but we probably do need around 2 months worth,
