> Such energy storage technology could help relieve congested transmission lines in places like Vermont

Normal garbage form Scientific American.

It's either a good battery or it isn't.

What does Vermont have to do with it?

If anything it's an awful test, they obviously will have to update the congested transmission lines, then you have a expensive plant that's useless, if the congested transmission lines don't factor in then why are we talking about them?

CRYOBattery is being sold as a long term payoff battery that has a small footprint. Land is cheap around power stations, creating a dam and turbine is simple tech that works, I can't see why this is better and SA is not helping.
