    Wasn’t very clear but the battery will be charged using existing renewable sources.

    The headline is poorly worded since coal is energy production and batteries are energy storage.

      All our “energy production” just converts energy from one state into another. Like a battery.

      A dam is often referred to as a giant gravity potential energy battery.
