Interesting article. The 8th entry is for safer nuclear based on fuel pellet housing, and #10 is "UTILITY-SCALE ENERGY STORAGE WILL ENABLE A RENEWABLE GRID"

I was hoping given the usual detailed content of the magazine to maybe learn something new. Not the case. They mentioned several possibilities that we are all aware of: batteries, pumped hydro, flow batteries, hydrogen fuel cell, gravity storage (block towers). It was a pretty short article.
I was hoping to hear something about "long duration" storage, but I guess the first nut to crack would be the quantity stored, and the follow up nut would be storing it from summer to winter.
