    Add “hot sand” to your storage options friend. It’s shockingly efficient for storing thermal energy, which can be used directly for vast swathes of industrial processes, and with the addition of the oldie but goodie “turbine and steam”…

      😂😂😂 hot sands in the US. As if we have a use for thermal energy, that’d imply that we had centralized cooling on more than just universities. This is America.

      But seriously, hot sands are hella cool and I’m jelly of yinz.
