Over the past decade, prices for solar panels and wind farms have reached all-time lows. However, the price for lithium ion batteries, the leading energy storage technology, has remained too high. So researchers are exploring other alternatives, including flow batteries, thermal batteries, and gravity-based systems.
CORRECTION (March 14, 2020): At 12:53 we incorrectly identify the size of the energy storage market. Overall, the energy storage market is predicted to attract $620 billion dollars in investments by 2040.

03/02/2025 - 7:42 AMThe Gravity storage is fundamentaly stupid. We calculated in our Physics class once how much energy you could store in such a thing. The answer is absolutely laughable. Hydro power is the only viable form of gravity storage. (Because you just have an insane amount of mass with usually a very large height delta.)

03/02/2025 - 7:42 AMFor decades I have opposed solar and windmills because they are inefficient and intermittent. Now all of a sudden environmentalists are telling us that we need a complex and expensive new layer of storage technology, which is massively increasing the cost of 'green' energy. Lithium mining also is more damaging to the environment than any other type of mining. You should have listened to me.

03/02/2025 - 7:42 AMSomeone should bio-engineer trees to be batteries. And make sure they look different than other trees. The trees could then regenerate energy while it is being taken out from them. Infinite energy. Problem solved. I reinvented the wheel as the spherical tire and my design idea was stolen long ago, but this one will keep trees around and potentially save the planet so you can use it freely. Unfortunately though, while I had the entire design of the spherical wheel and tire all laid out, I do not know enough about genetic engineering to flesh out this tree battery idea for you.
Personally, I am not sure why Goodyear went with regenerative technology rather than ways of retreading the spheres, but it is interesting I guess.
I am a firm believer in kinetic energy stored into batteries and think that people should work on improving batteries in unique ways and maybe even reinventing how energy is stored completely.
Even the trees swaying in the wind could generate that kinetic energy and be stored into batteries so why do they need to build giant windmills that require costly upkeep?
Everyone who has acquired ideas from me no matter whether directly or indirectly should pay me $50 a month and I will help come up with new ideas for their businesses.

03/02/2025 - 7:42 AMThis video is over four years old. And you know what? We are no closer to having grid level battery storage than we were 100 years ago. Anyone who wastes their time trying to invent some kind of grid level battery storage system should also spend their vacation time searching for Sasquatch. Delusional imbeciles.
