The Battery Race That Might Decide Our Energy Future (And Why the Risks Are Real)
Imagine ordering a devastatingly expensive pint of bitter, only to realise the barman has not given you a glass. You are just watching it pour directly down the drain. That is precisely what the global economy is doing with renewable energy right now.
Solar panels are brilliant when the sun shines. Wind turbines are perfectly lovely when there is a stiff breeze. But the moment the weather turns, our shiny, modern grid becomes a profoundly expensive paperweight. We are generating power we simply cannot keep.
To me, the genuine energy transition is not about generating electricity. It is about hoarding it.
