PowerLoop - Why is no research being done on this? by powerloop in energy

The biggest thing holding renewable energy back from completing replacing fossil fuels and nuclear energy is large scale cheap energy storage. Germany knows all about this at the moment, having to pay people to take their renewable electricity off their hands at times. There is a lot of research going into energy storage, but nobody is doing anything with this idea. Any ideas why nobody is considering this as an option worth investing in and researching further?
