Texas Law Could Short-Circuit Battery Breakthrough

6. Mathematically, yes.

As a percentage of daily power production across the entire network, the amount of energy stored is very small.

This is not like a huge pumped storage plant, or the batteries of a home solar system that's not connected to a larger power grid.

I'm sure we're on the same page. Popular press reporting on alternative or new power technologies is notoriously awful; often deliberately so in the case of marketing and investment schemes. Many laws have been written by lobbyists and passed by legislators to obfuscate the actual physical realities of network operations.

It's as if the sellers are actively seeking buyers who have no idea that a kilowatt and a kilowatt-hour are not the same thing, and it's also seems to be the reason for the bizarre and frequently used "number of homes" measure.

The math and physics of power grid operations is clear, popular press accounts, press releases, and marketing brochures are not.
