Batteries are lighting up California like someone just discovered a 1970s oil crisis memo.

For the first time, California discharged just over 12,000 megawatts, equivalent to 12 large nuclear plants, of energy from its battery arrays. That’s enough to meet over 40 percent of the state’s energy demand.

I wrote about exactly this back in 2021, when my neighbor put his 1980 Lektrikar up for sale.
