yep. at some point we're gonna realize that a modicum of storage will smooth out so many issues.

Getting the energy to/from the storage can still be a big issue. You potentially even end up double-storing it.

funny how easy it is to get power companies to hook up data centers but god for fucking bid we improve the grid to deal with these problems today

When did I ever say that?

The point being made seems to be that the distribution network doesn't need upgrading for AI loads, but does need upgrading if you want to charge EVs at peak times. That's accurate. Nothing more, nothing less.

Distribution network != the grid.
