The amount of storage required is perfectly doable:

It's also quite a bit cheaper doing this than building out enough nuclear power + storage to service our needs.

overshoot production, my go-to way in Factorio until mass-production accumulator is available

> The amount of storage required is perfectly doable:

Snowy 2.0 can provide about 5% of the power NSW needs. That means we only need to build another 20 of those.

And that's only for power, we're not even talking about energy here. And we're already out of mountains. So no: it isn't doable even until we can build mountains on demand.

The study is written by morons.

If they can't divide a number by another number they should stick to eating glue.
