So fun to find out that your water bill will increase by almost double every month for "reasons" when you can't change your provider. Can we please, please nationalise Thames Water already?

Sand batteries are literally just silos of sand that retain heat exceptionally well -- so well that they can be tied to heat exchange systems to serve as proxy *electrical* batteries.
