Storing energy(MIT figured out how)

[layinwood]

A while back we had a thread on wind turbines and someone said there was no way to store energy. I guess it's good we have people smart enough to figure out how to. This is awesome!

Thanks for the link, interesting. I think I was the one who mentioned that as far as I knew there was no way to store electricity, and I think that differs from this solar energy scenario.

Nice to see progress on important fronts.

Chadman, I think they will be able to use this to store any energy. It's not where it's coming from that matters, it's how they're storing it. I could be wrong but that's very exciting news for us.

BUTTTT, very bad news potentially to the energy companies.
