Battery facilities is the next step in green energy, and I like to see different approaches to this. That is what we need right now.
Will this turn out to be a worse option than what will be invented in 10 years? Almost 100% sure. But did it help us getting to a better place? Yes.
Fuck Google for alot of things though, but it doesnt make sense to do blind hate when they try these things.
And how do you know I haven't? Do you have insight into my mind?
Here's my stance: Fuck Google. When have they ever done anything for the benefit of humanity? If this turns out to do exactly what it says on the tin, I'll be happy to eat my words, but pardon me if I don't believe that Google is suddenly interested in clean energy.
