    Ehh I follow the battery news well enough to know it’s different this time.

    The way you can tell is that it isn’t coming from the MIT press release department.

      Honestly, it’s a good time for batteries and solar panels.

      I think we’re just going to let out current infrastructure rot out from under us and while house generators run on gas.

      I mean, we could modernize our infrastructure, but we can barely keep bridges standing and I’m not sure if utilities are communism or not. I suspect that they are.

      The lithium iron phosphate is already pretty impressive, just a bit pricey.

        Anything “flow” is going to be game changing to an extent I think let readers really barely understand. It turns energy storage into something as boring and understood as the refrigeration cycle. Flow means storage at scale becomes trivial.
