Everyone else, including those in the energy industry, disagrees with you.
So tell me who these "everyones" are. You must have the information, you are so sure you are right. But just don't want to commit.

There's nothing asserted, it's asking you for your opinion.
My opinion is that it will cost vastly more than Lazard's calculations of how many hours of storage are needed.

That you ran away from a straight answer can only be because you don't even believe your crappy excuses.
You are the one saying that the energy companies have done the sums. Show them.

So you don't want to say which energy provider didn't cost for batteries when deciding to invest in nuclear or renewable . It must be a secret they only shared with you. I understand. We won't tell anyone
So the secret is you don't know. Thanks for that.
Well there is this I found -
"Federal energy minister Chris Bowen said on Friday that his department is preparing to launch the first CIS tender for WA’s wholeslae energy market (WEM) in June, with an indicative target of 500MW of four-hour equivalent (2 GWh) “clean dispatchable capacity.” "
https://reneweconomy.com.au/bowen-takes-capacity-tender-out-west-in-search-of-2g...500MW of 4 hour equivalent is 5 times larger that Lazard's equivalent. Hornsdale battery at 100MW cost about $100million dollars and WA is only a small proportion of the National figure.
Of course feel free to supply better figures on how little it will cost.
"Australian government seeks to deliver 4.2 GWh of battery energy storage"
...
"ARENA said with a total project value of about
$1.8 billion and a combined capacity of 2.0 GW/4.2 GWh the projects represent a ten-fold increase in grid-forming electricity storage capacity currently operational in the NEM."
https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/12/19/australian-government-seeks-to-deliver-4-...That's 400 times larger.
I haven't seen any figures of needed storage from any energy suppliers.
