Is it cheaper? Correct me if I miscalculated but...
This says that facility has 129 MW-h storage and cost between 50 an 200 million:

The US produced 4,015 Billion kWh in 2017:

Divide by 365 and get 11 Billion kW-h (for just 24 hours backup) or 11 Million MW-h
11,000,000 / 129 is about 85000
85000 * 50 million = 4,263,000,000,000
So 4.3 trillion dollars in batteries
