Did you compensate for cost in this example?

Cost has nothing to do with this argument. He is talking about energy density.

Quite the opposite. For grid storage (in contrast to cars) energy density is irreverent (there is plenty of space). What matters is cost.

I was talking about cost. I don't know about p1mrx.

In any case, a bit of Googling will give you more details about the improvements than my faulty memory..
