Re: LIRR to test retrofitting M7s to run off batteries

People have no good conception of scale.

Railroad lines or cranes that carry a bunch of rocks up a hill, flywheels, storing water in old mines, melting salt in the desert with giant mirrors. All these sound like great ideas until you ask, what would a 20 GWhr, 2 GW project (the size of Blenheim Gilboa) look like?
