Yes, but energy density doesn't matter for most applications and the waste it produces is highly problematic.

Thats a chicken/egg peoblem. If enough renewables are build the storage follows. In a perfect world goverments would incentivice storage but in an imperfect one problems have to occure before somebody does something to solve them. Anyway, according to lazard renewables + storage are still cheaper than NPPs.

Slow, expensive, riddeled with corruption, long ago surpassed by renewables. Why should we use it?

Maybe you should read up on the topic and not just repeat baseless falsehoods.

That would be so nice...

It wasn't even an accident, he just killed a cyclist because he wanted to drive on a bicycle path without being, rightfully, called out for it. Bonus points for having his child in his car.

This looks exactly like I always imagined battery storage should look like, at least in a first step. Mid-sized batteries strategically distributed in the grid for frequency regulation/grid balancing.

Some critics argue that the prestige of the Prize in Economic Sciences derives in part from its association with the Nobel Prizes, an association that has often been a source of controversy. Among them is the Swedish human rights lawyer Peter Nobel, a great-grandnephew of Alfred Nobel.[40]

Nobel accuses the awarding institution of misusing his family's name, and states that no member of the Nobel family has ever had the intention of establishing a prize in economics.[41] He explained that "Nobel despised people who cared more about profits than society's well-being", saying that "There is nothing to indicate that he would have wanted such a prize", and that the association with the Nobel prizes is "a PR coup by economists to improve their reputation".[40]

Those data centers would soon be somewhere else due to... economics. And even if not, wouldn't be significant.
