Ian, all I can say to you is you seem to be seeing only a small part of the system (The part you want to see?), and I can't show you the rest in replies like this. You will have to do the legwork yourself, by researching at least some of my materials created over the past six years since starting on the energy problem voluntarily. I can't communicate those to you in replies like this.
There are systemic reasons for everything I've said to you, and the same reasons are why much of what we think is ok right now by batteries, won't be, as soon as we make the required move to all solar, only hydrogen does the job needed.
If you have questions or doubts on any of my materials specifically, I would be more than happy to enlighten there.
