Seems like we should be building fission now while waiting for those prospective battery breakthroughs - I think the gap between current storage/$ and where we need to be to build out renewable 100% is absolutely massive. We shouldn't be fully banking on it closing to achieve climate goals.
There are potential solutions without needing much cheaper batteries. If you over provide solar by 2x or 4x it may be good enough to cover much of the winter with batteries only needed for a short period overnight. Also the excess may get used for things like making hydrogen or aluminium.
