I can drop cargo containers full of Tesla Powerpacks anywhere in the world. I cannot build hydro pumped storage just anywhere.



...And?

You're not answering:

> To flip that around, there exist applications where battery storage isn't reasonable. Is it thus also bizarre to bring batteries?

The post I was replying to called talking about hydro storage "bizarre". I was pointing out that it isn't. The logic here seems analogous to saying that compact cars suck because you can't use them as a dump truck.


My argument is that battery storage will slowly become better than all other energy storage methods as the price comes down. Its also helpful that it can be transported and colocated anywhere necessary.
