Those arguments typically assume Li-ion batteries will be used for seasonal storage, which is a completely clown argument.

I've yet to see any serious engineer make the argument that Li-ion batteries will be used for seasonal storage. I've more often seen it used as a straw man argument against renewables.

  • I've seen the argument made plenty of times. Even nuclear engineers from MIT basically made this argument!

    You can say anyone who makes this argument isn't serious, but that sounds like a No True Scotsman argument.
