Thanks Terry.
She paints a bright picture for us in Aus, as long as the right people listen!

There are so many other energy storage options, I listed a few in the comments section and hopefully she will look into them and either knock them on the head, or expand on the possibilities.

These people Sundrop Farms - A fresh way of growing - Redefining sustainable greenhouse are already doing the briny water to salt extraction, fresh water, power generation, as well as a massive tomato farm green house just outside Port Augusta South Australia.

I seem to remember a French mob doing the two layer salt water heat storage idea and actually managed to achieve 24hr power generation at one stage .....

Rosie is great - I do appreciate what she does.

I watched this video and immediately sent it to my colleague who teaches an online course on the energy transition because I think it would be very useful for his students.

Here is another one that will possibly even shift political power when it comes to controlling the oil .....

......

With China's ruling regarding no thermal runaway batteries, that ends Cobalt use in battery manufacture ....... will this drop the political power struggle regarding lithium and rare metal supply, dependence on burning stuff to create steam for turbines and the last nail in the ICE battle regarding automotive drive ..... trucks included ....... this coming yrs could be very interesting as political power moves start to unravel ....... the last bit in the video "Any country can make these cells because the materials are commonly abundant" Maybe not the aluminium casing though?
