Megapack: Utility-Scale Energy Storage

I hope that other companies will start producing similar solutions instead. We can't rely on just one company to provide essential infrastructure worldwide. Those cells will need replacing in a few years and if there's still monopoly we may have series issues. It makes for a great history book material, but I like my utilities predictable and boring.

Here's one: https://spectrum.ieee.org/energywise/energy/the-smarter-grid...

It's based on a novel battery. One of the interesting claims about XNRGI's battery is that it can be manufactured at scale for a much lower capital cost because you can use existing semiconductor wafer manufacturing infrastructure:

So let's see if Cross Border Power's grid battery works. It'll be good if it does.
