12:31Now PlayingBattery storage is often promoted as a critical component of the nation's energy future, but how much can batteries realistically contribute to grid reliability, affordability, and growing electricity demand?
In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Maggie Miller speaks with Dr. Jonathan Lesser and Mitchell Rolling about their new National Center for Energy Analytics study, "Batteries and the Grid: The Hype, Hope, and Economic Reality." They examine the costs of large-scale battery deployment, reliability challenges during periods of low wind and solar generation, battery degradation, ratepayer cost, and whether they can keep pace with rising demand. The conversation explores the promises—and limitations—of battery technology in America's evolving energy landscape.
