If it works then it solves part of the problem with variability of supply when using renewables obviously.

Not convinced it could work longer term - for example in 2010 the UK renewables produced nothing for 2 weeks, no wind and solar covered in snow - could a Musk battery power homes for that long, and what do we do when it can't and the Gas/Coal plants have been closed ?

Its a 10-20 year potential but not now, so we need Gas/Coal in the mean time.
