My point is that no one is building 1 week batteries because they would be incredibly expensive.
To make sure we are on the same page are you envisioning a grid powered 100% by wind + solar + batteries?
People are building 100 hour (5 day) batteries because they are incredibly cheap, but they're not doing many of them because they're not needed.
Don't forget existing hydro, new advanced geothermal, existing nuclear (until they all reach end of life), etc. etc. etc.
