Still far less than solar or wind for kW/acre

I mean, the single biggest issue with solar is its land usage. Wind is much better with this.

Plus the batteries. Batteries are expensive and we need way more that can store more and charge/discharge at faster rates.

Imo batteries are like this since battery companies are quite greedy. They want some big cut out of the cost.
