What do you mean by "can't be done"? If we can build a 500MWh battery we can build a 1GWh battery by doing the 500MWh battery two times.

Similarly if we can build a 1GWh battery we can build also a 24 GWh battery.

That's the same argument for building nuclear -- we've done projects before, just do it more/bigger.

Yet we can't and aren't.
