It is suppose to be cheap fuel so how is it a good investment. Where is the money coming from to make it a good investment?
It may be cheap, but if you have a few billion customers...

There is a battery that is efficient, but.......it's huge and very complicated! The liquid electrolite is charged then tanked...seperately. The charged fluid can be pumped back to the battery as needed! The "new" replacement for oil is a synthetic, made from algae, and of course organic material (which needs lots of fuel in growth and t***sport) a 55 gallon sample was donated to the Air Force for testing.....expected cost is $58 a gallon? or about 20 times as much as jet fuel! Great isn't it? As to solar... the system is very complicated to operate, (Off grid that is) the average city dweller can't even change a tire or reset a circuit breaker! Shuffling papers doesn't qualify as ANY INTELLIGENCE!
Thank you. That is interesting and may well be somehow related to that which I posted. Using this sand to store themal energy makes sense, but seems another application, different from solar power generation and storage, but may be related somehow.
I am not a high-tech guy, so this stuff is beyond my grasp. The link I posted seems aimed at gathering investors at this stage -- that's also "not me".
