Re:Why did renewables become so cheap so fast? by gruez on Wednesday December 02, 2020 @04:33PM (#25281938)
I highly doubt this. According to wikipedia[1], three high voltage towers can transmit 7079 MW of power. To beat that with lipo batteries you'd need to move 26,713 metric tons worth of batteries per hour[2], and that's not even including time to charge. I don't think any sort of freight transportation method can do that cheaper than some transmission towers.
