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.

Federal Court, Melbourne, Monday 1 Sept: support Warburton Environment final hearing of court case, fighting Forest Fire Management Victoria's appalling, senseless removal of thousands of old hollow-bearing habitat trees, naming them "hazardous trees". warburtonenvironment.org

The Western world needs therapy. It does not know itself. Routinely "appalled" and "concerned" about the war crimes it arms, pays for, and covers up politically.
