The flywheel portion isn't particularly well thought out, either. Efficiency losses matter more when you're burning fossil fuels than with renewables. With fossil fuels it's a pollution issue, while with renewable energy it's just a design consideration you can allow for.

Well we burn two renewable fuels and they are much more difficult to control than fossil fuels. Efficiency is not as much of a concern compared to stable power operations. Biggest things about why turbines are so good is if you need more power now, just add more fuel to the boiler. Load changes can easily be managed. Excessive energy to the grid can quickly be vented as steam. Wind and solar cannot be base loads right now because of the unpredictable nature of their energy, and if a spike happens, there is no storage or load bank to handle it. This includes things like big users going off line abruptly, that will black out the who grid.
