Oh, you don't understand the difference betweeen power and energy...

The context here is storing energy for the days when it's not windy or when it's cloudy.

> Batteries are still far from economical in many situations, but there are many situations where they now make sense.

This a not about your Tesla, or what you feel about Tesla and batteries in general.

>> Also what is the cost of storing that energy?

> Insanely high compared to the cost of producing it.

Ok, how about you share your numbers on the cost of production for 1kwh.

Your use of "insanely high" leads me to believe you are comparing the capital outlay for batteries, vs operating costs of a power station. It's important to compare like for like.
