  1. Sure. Yet we have more solutions than ever. From the myriad of batteries that don't need to be super advandced high power, low density ones found in cars or electrinics. One issue is our grid. We can produce and store all the power we want, but getting that power when and where it is needed is a huge problem no one seems to be focused on. Where is the revolutionary technology that will change getting power from A to B! Our grid is so outdated and vulnerable it is a real concern.. We need a massive overhaul from just a civic, economic, and more importantly a security standpoint. The future is wind and solar, EV or hydrogen. All of it will need a strong and efficent grid, and I don't see any videos on how we plan to upgrade it.

  2. Sure we could compress air. Or build gravity batteries. Or flywheels. Pumped hydro. Water batteries. The question is which is cheapest. I think there are certain battery technologies that are becoming available now that are cheaper than other technologies. Wait till metal air batteries become available! Jeff Bezos is putting money into Iron Air for energy storage. Once they start becoming large scale we won't even be asking ourselves what to use. Lithium Air for cars. Iron Air for energy storage. Then things like FPV cells, and molten salt to recycle heat waste into energy.

  3.  @HH-le1vi Wind is the cheapest form of energy for any new form of power production. Specifically at large scales. Isn't that shocking? Batteries are also getting cheaper. Solar has the benefit of being better for home scale local production. There in lays the problem with nuclear. I'm all for it, but it doesn't seem to ever be cost competitive. Once, (once hah) some of these new battery technologies that aren't lithium ion, but even way cheaper? I just don't see why except for some specific places would ever do it. This is without mentioning the sheer amount of fresh water plants need. This could be mitigated by newer reactor designs, but again the cost. According to a graph about Nuclear. The price curve is going up. While wind, solar, and batteries continue to dip. I think the best bet for nuclear is for converting old fossil fuel plants into nuclear. I think that is the only way it stands a chance at the moment, and I am all for it.
