There was scarcely any financial incentive to address the grid scale energy storage problem until like two or three years ago. There are a half dozen startups working on it now.

My vote is to rapidly install renewables while we have the natural gas backstop, and give the storage startups a few years to make it happen. Energy Dome, Hydrostor, and Form Energy all look promising.

And if new nuclear turns out to be less expensive than expected, great.

What are even the yardsticks by which nuclear storage success is even measured? /gen
