    The practicalities for "lots of storage" are very low. It would need a pumped storage scheme the size of the entire Scottish highlands to be useful to provide say 40GW for 2 weeks or more! A battery (even from Tesla) would be a disaster waiting to happen as its stored energy would be the similar to a 1 gigatonne hydrogen bomb. The term not in my back yard or country comes to mind.
