I'm not so sure about that.

California generates so much solar that it really imbalances their grid. (They're idiots...) industrial energy storage is very necessary and gravity systems are honestly about as simple as you can get. It's a wildly bold application of the tech, for sure. I don't think it's the worst idea, especially since lithium storage comes with huge downsides.

That sounds like a good scenario for gravity storage. Over abundance of generation.

It’s not the gravity storage I have a problem with. It’s the inability for government to think outside of “grid first”. If I owned a gravity storage enabled building, I’d want it to generate power into storage itself.

Oh, sure. I'm the same way.
