I know your on board with nuclear,and you're already driving an EV,and doing home PV and carbon-neutral heating.
What are some of the other technological options available?
Should we attempt utility-scale energy storage if it can be done?

Nuclear.
If it can be done yes.
Right now there is just barely enough batteries available for building 1 or 2% of all vehicles sold to be electric.
Maybe the glass matrix electrolyte battery will pan out and we can just use actual lithium metal in a secondary cell with out it accidentally turning into a firebomb. Use sodium metal batteries for grid storage.
Right now making grid batteries would only drive up the price and availability of materials for traction batteries.
