Yes we need more long time energy storage. It helps to balance the energy grid and it helps for days when not enough energy is produced. Batteries aren’t really the answer, but pumping water uphill might be.

A while ago I came to the conclusion that a Casio G-Shock is the best watch. They don’t have to be expensive, a good one will sync the time multiple times a day, so it’s always accurate. A good one also has small solar panels in the watch face, so the battery will never be empty, and all of them are really build to last.
From a pure functional perspective I think it’s the best watch ever made. It basically tells you the correct time, always.
When I search in a 30KM radius, the cheapest house starts at 140K euros. You only get 19m² (204 sq ft) so it’s like just one room? But for 150K you can get a 55m² (592 sq ft) house that’s probably a bathroom, livingroom and bedroom.
Per square feet actually more expensive, but houses in the Netherlands aren’t that big anyway.
Keep running it for a while and after some time 5 or 10 years you will struggle when people ask you about (basic) Windows stuff.
