Renewable ENERGY on WHEELS, SUNTRAIN; off the shelf tech

Load large Batteries onto Freight Cars, filling them full of renewable Energy, and roll them out to energy-thirsty locations (Cities) The US startup SunTrain has been developing such a concept. Victoria could put BATTERIES on Trains & move KW around to spare costly new Transmission lines.🚂🔆 Each Wagon will have a 9.6 MWh Battery, weighing 80 tons. The total payload therefore is around 1.15 GWh, Enough to POWER 120,000 HOMES. Displace EXPENSIVE gas peaker plants. Avoid nimby power line Delays.
