    They are working on a new battery type in Scotland for grid storage........ For areas that can not do water generation. like the deserts, prairies, and tundra.

    Can gravity batteries solve our energy storage problems?

    For the TLDR crowd: They are cranking a weight up a series of cables and using the down force to run generators. Like an old clock that you have to pull the weights up every once in a while.

    They are planning to put the big weights down old coal mine shafts in the future.......

    Gravity is kinda old and still works last I checked......

    Same can be said for physics.....

    And Guinness stout.... That still works last I checked. I'm sure there will be a few "hold my ale moments" hope they catch them for you-tube.

    Cool idea.... Use diesel engines on the hoists, something tested and dependable.
