Removing your energy source (fossil fuel) and replacing with energy storage doesn't fix anything - where does the energy to fill that storage come from? In some hypothetical future where renewable energy is very cheap, it will still be more efficient to use that energy to produce liquid fuel for planes.

ITER. Tritium breeding reactors by feeding it recycled lithium.

Exactly. IMHO nuclear is the only way, if we go down this path. And if we do that, then we mostly don't need to bother with wind/solar/grid storage.
