South Australian company "1414 Degrees,"
. . . has developed technology to store electricity as thermal energy,
. . . by heating and melting containers full of silicon,
. . . at a cost estimated to be up to
. . . 10 times cheaper than lithium batteries.

Silicon is the
. . . 2nd most abundant element in the earth’s crust,
. . . after oxygen.

A ton of silicon can store enough energy to power
. . . 28 houses for a day.

“Also, you can keep using the silicon, it’s pretty much unlimited.”
