> Storage costs, despite being in freefall still are still in the hundreds of dollars per kilowatt hour range. And it's kind of moot since the total amount of storage produced globally is still a fraction of what is necessary to make renewables feasible as a primary source of power.

Funny that you also fail to mention that although storage levels are very low, we are still very far from reaching the market penetration of requiring storage. Transitioning a world's electric grid takes take, decades, plenty of time for storage to drop.
