But I've seen nothing that indicates you can store that quantity of power. You think you can? Show it.

It's not possible now, in 10 years fully expect the cost of solar to plummet and storage to be much, much better and cheaper. This is based on the last 10 years of progress, even if it slows 50% it is still viable IMO.
Do you have some other solution you see as viable? Seems like in general you pick apart any promising green energy tech. Which is fine I welcome scrutiny but at some point we have to stop talking about climate change and honestly make an attempt to fix our carbon output.
