    It’s why I’m a bit disgruntled many places around the world aren’t getting their arses in gear and developing and building storage.

    Even if that storage is woefully inefficient (liquid air energy storage, for example) it would be hugely beneficial. In Queensland, Australia, for example, barely any new solar is being built because energy prices are negative in the middle of the day and plants are being curtailed.

    We need storage, any storage, a butt-tonne more of it, like now.
