Better for storing large amounts of energy, like capacity on the electrical grid. If a power plant can run at it's maximum efficiency and have it's ouput stored say during off-peak hours, it means that we do not need to build extra power plants to create supply for peak times. It's a bit like the battery in a hybrid car, the engine runs efficiently to charge the battery so the electric motor can tap that energy and varying rates when it needs to, so the gas engine does not have to be wasteful.

Sounds real cool, or rather real HOT, but is this the whole story? Are there no challenges, is it ready to go online now? Why didn't he tell us how this thing performs as a battery? Nothing is every perfect, so what are the drawbacks? The melting point of antimony is 1167.13 °F, magnesium's is 1202 °F. What factors heat it up and what things cool it down and how are they kept in balance? How does it stay at temperature?

And, how do I invest in this company ?
