The video used "10 years" and some low efficiency rating like 10 or 12%.
Those sloppy errors of fact are unacceptable.
Those are just two of the falsehoods that come to mind, there were plenty of others.
The truth that was most missing is that energy storage is making solar and wind more dispatch-able and is the rising star technology of the electric utility sector.
