	Answer: 60% of domestic energy use is heat/cool. 25% of all electric is industrial.		Answer: 60% of domestic energy use is heat/cool. 25% of all electric is industrial.

	In short, this video above deals with analyzing a broken system, a problem solved by system redesign. Batteries will never store grid level power. The solution is simpler because 60% of domestic energy use is heat/cool/water heat. This can be replaced with heat pump powered cooling and heating combined with a different type of battery: a thermal battery (also known as water), which is 100x cheaper over lifetime than batteries. With this his we can address heat by daytime heating/cooling - no power use when sun is not shining. If you thus cover 60% of energy use, we get into a different scenario all together regarding 'intermittency' of renewables. With smart home controls, this gets you into the regime of tiny batteries serving critical power loads, such as internet. And industrial electricity is only about 25% of all electricity, and can be solved with on-demand or local use of energy. We will be doing the heat/cool storage system by our fifth [[Seed Eco-Home]] or so, and our house will still be lower cost than the market. Anyway, the whole energy discussion is a religion as you see:) Everyone loves to bullshit based on the assumptions they make.
