Grid Scale Energy Storage 30x cheaper than Lithium-ion! How do they do that?

This channel seeks to understand the issues that face our civilisation in the 21st Century and focusses on the potential solutions that will save as many lives as possible and hopefully bring about a greater level of equality in the world. The channel is not a debating forum about whether Human Induced Climate Change is a real phenomenon or not. If that's what you're after then I can highly recommend chat forums on Social Media, where people on both sides of the argument go round and round in circles achieving precisely nothing at all. That is a mug's game. And it's not my game. Anyway, outside of those caveats, I do try to keep it light and humorous wherever possible, so I hope you enjoy the content. Oh..and me... Dave Borlace.

Video Description
Utility scale energy storage is a hot topic right now as grid operators look for ways to economically adopt intermittent renewable sources like wind and solar into our global electrical systems. Now a team at MIT has combined and improved several existing technologies into a flexible modular solution that could be as much as 30x cheaper than existing lithium-ion technology.
