1) Non-car storage (including but not limited to immobile batteries, pumped hydro, and hydrogen electrolysis)

2) Non-solar renewables (including but not limited to wind, geothermal, and tidal)

3) Inter-time-zone power grids (because PV is getting so cheap that 67% losses, 1000 watts at source being 330 watts at the plug, isn’t totally insane).
