    a 1kwh LifePo4 battery costs almost 220$, so batteries are still expensive as heck. water dams or hydrogen production are good ways of storing solar energy

      And with batteries you only have a couple thousand charge cycles. With hydro-electric I feel like it’s limitless.

        It still needs to be maintained, but it’s still gotta be way more cost effective in the long run.

          Agreed. And I can imagine the turbines needs updates as well.
