White-hot liquid silicon could be the key to storing the vast amounts of energy needed to run a renewables-based national power grid, according to MIT, which claims it “would be vastly more affordable than lithium-ion batteries” and “would cost about half as much as pumped hydroelectric storage, the cheapest form of grid-scale energy storage to ...
