I can easily earn a huge profit by trade 3-5x energy at one point in time, to get 1x energy at an other.

As an example, in my zone, if someone provided 1x energy at 7pm, and I repaid that by providing 3x of that energy at 3am, I would still earn a profit of about 25%.

The price prognosis for tonight is even lower, so I could trade 1x for 6x and still make a nice profit from the price difference.

So you're saying that a solar storage system which costs a fraction of a nuclear system is way better because you produce most of your energy during high demand and can move the rest rather than producing most of it at low demand times?
