Why don't we get most of our electricity from batteries?

Batteries can only store electricity, not create it. Batteries can only store and release direct current (DC), while power plants produce alternating current (AC). Since it takes up a lot of space and it costs a lot to use batteries, the batteries might not be able to store all the electricity that is produced. This is why an electrical generating station does not use batteries to generate electricity.
