See no future in utility scale wind given lifecycle costs of creation and disposal. Understand maintenance costs are also a factor. Subsides make it possible. Unclear why Europe still finds it useful.
Solar remains viable. But the $/watt of residential seems stuck perhaps because installation costs so variable. All homes ought to be designed for solar installation during build.
Progress underway for better battery storage for both utility scale and home use. Will Vanadium flow ever become real and more affordable than Li? I do see StorEn has a home scale V-flow battery that can compete with Musk’s home Li-battery. Don’t need best size just least lifecycle costs.
I'm a huge fan of rooftop solar in theory, especially since it provides more freedom and less reliance on the grid. The batteries will depend on scale and cost, as you said, especially since there is already a product in place with the standard LIB.
