Unless I'm mistaken, the US consumption is 500GWh/day with peaks at 700GW/day, so 3GWh isn't going to do much

... and so we're back to my first comment, a 100x improvement is still needed for this kind of usage.

3GWh isn't even at a proof of concept stage yet for this kind of usage. Even 10x that would barely be called a POC.
