That's why these projects are called batteries, not generators.

The nuke and fossil lobbies make a big deal out of how renewables are intermittent, and this is one of many practical ways to fix that.

I understand that but the statement 70 TWh is enough storage capacity to satisfy the world electricity demand makes no sense. Electricity demand is a power not an energy.
