What does Australia have in abundance?
Hint: we don't mean coal!
With abundant, vast,
affordable renewables,
Australia is missing one
key piece of the puzzle...
STORAGE
Every second of every day
the power grid needs
to equalize supply and demand
The more renewables on a grid,
the greater the need for storage

The more renewables on a grid,
to provide energy when the sun doesn't shine & the wind is still
the greater the need for storage
