So, 30 hours of battery storage for $660 / kW comes down to $22 / kWh.

That's less than one tenth of the cost of today's leading $300 / kWh Tesla "Megapack" utility battery storage product. 🤔

Why am I challenging Dr. Clack?

Because he is selling antinuclear have-your-cake-and-eat-it renewable energy studies that he asserts "find" least-cost energy systems with little or no nuclear energy, while in fact he simply assumes it, hidden in the fine print of his papers.
Note how I try to evaluate Clacks storage cost assumption by comparing to the *best* current storage cost quote I could find.

In his effort to support his nuclear cost assumptions, he refers to the *worst* project he could find.

This is not fine.
