Interesting. I wonder how the recovery efficiency and capacity compare to pumped-storage hydroelectricity

As the article explains, solar and wind power have long needed a storage mechanism for times when there isn't sufficient sunshine or wind. Fukishima showed that nuclear power has the opposite problem: even when you want to switch it off, sometimes it keeps going.

as long it not NUKE power...
Oh HELL yes.

Fun fact:
The world's first floating nuclear power station was MH-1A built in the 1960s into the hull of a World War II Liberty Ship
Sounds like a perfect use for the mothball fleet:

eventually you will turn to Nuclear power so get over it and start planning
today... else we fall behind.
Oh HELL yes.

lol! im sure the russian market up on energy prices will be high...
Harvard University researchers say they've developed a new type of battery that could make it economical to store a couple of days of electricity from wind farms and other sources of power.
