A battery, any battery, is a device that destroys exergy.

It's a law of physics.

Now of course, all of our antinukes will claim that if they cover half of North America with batteries, all wired together with zillions of miles of copper from Katanga, energy will be "too cheap to meter," just like it is in Germany.

How is it that "green" Germany, antinuke heaven, always has a problem when fossil fuels are in short supply?

Oh, I must have forgotten. Antinukes don't give a shit about fossil fuel dependency, do they?

Why don't they just build a pile of batteries as big as Zugspitze? They could you know.

We'll be saved, won't we?

At least now the Elon Musk's slaves can dig copper in Katanga to wire all the batteries together and reserve the cobalt and tantalum for cell phones.
