To: Tell It Right
What is a grid battery?   Years ago we sold power back to the power company.   They even provided a telemetry device where they could crank up our generators in peak demand times.   They never thought of draining our battery plants which would be really stupid.

A grid battery is where the power company itself has a battery bank to store power in gigawatt hours. The idea is for huge solar and wind farms to power the grid during the day with excess power charging ginormous battery banks for the power company to pull from at night—- all so the grid could have smooth and dependable power like normal but without needing fossil fuels.

At least that’s the fantasy that the left pushes.
