52. Storage is the least of our problems?
We have reasonably productive solar and wind capacity. Building these things out is part of the problem.

We have neither car batteries capable of transferring power back to the grid nor home heating systems that store thermal. This is the rest of the problem, and the subject of this thread: how do we keep the grid happily humming?
