Really interesting stuff, wish I could think of a good web page about it.

The main problem seems to be safety. Having a massive flywheel (the only kind that'll store enough energy) is quite a safety concern. That's the main problem with energy storage.
Batteries can short out.
Gasoline can blow up.
Flywheels can run off and trash everything.
Oh well.
