    Right, this is essentially another form of battery. Maybe it’ll work out. It doesn’t require flooding an entire river valley somewhere, so that’s nice.

      Yes, we need to stop thinking “battery” and broaden to energy storage as a whole, which can take many more forms (wind up a big coil! Push things uphill!).
