There could be mandatory batteries in every household.
Say ten car batteries which could store surplus wind and solar
generated electricity. Apparently this could store more than the total
US electricity output

If the car batteries are the ones that power an electric bus maybe.

Of course the Karnataka government is going to pay for it. Didn't think so.

So convince the tribes to cover their tribal lands with solar sels and
get rich selling power to the stupid country surrounding them.

That kind of argument is meaningless unless you can actually make it
work, 24/7, 365 days a year, for less than the alternatives. Show me
one, just one, solar or wind power plant with more than a kilomegawatt
capacity that has actually done that for two years.

Oil has little to nothing to do with heating water.

I hope everyone has a conventional backup or really enjoys cold showers.
