A new approach to rechargeable batteries | MIT News
"Sadoway cautions that such batteries would not be suitable for some major uses, such as cars or phones. Their strong point is in large, fixed installations where cost is paramount, but size and weight are not, such as utility-scale load leveling. In those applications, inexpensive battery technology could potentially enable a much greater percentage of intermittent renewable energy sources to take the place of baseload, always-available power sources, which are now dominated by fossil fuels."
Well, what is the cost per house (USA standart energy for home family) ?

Is isn't power dense but it is cheap and durable and therefore a likely candidate for grid storage.
The MIT link above is what you need to get a grasp of what's happening, but if you prefer a content free video:
It got me to search out the battery, so here goes  |
