I'm sorry you didn't read my article. If you had, you would have seen me say…

Remember, this is just a bit of fun. There's no practical way to build domestic batteries with this capacity using the technology of 2025.

And

Is this sensible? Probably not, no.

And

remember, this is an exercise in wishful thinking.

At no point did I say it was a reasonable idea. I went out of my way to demonstrate how impractical it was.

I accept your admission that you didn't read my post means you are stupid rather than evil etc.
