The problem with turbines is that they need to be on all the time. You can't turn them on and off constantly. They need several hours of warm-up to achieve efficient conversion of fuel to electricity, when turned on. The article sort of speaks about this midway, but it's jargony.
But, regardless, electrolysing water with excess electricity to make a reservoir of electricity is an amazing idea.
