This could be a game changer for energy storage, and it sounds like it's not just pie in the sky. I think it's too heavy for RVs, but still interesting: Wall Street Journal article

I see batteries like those ultimately serving the same purpose as pumped storage hydroelectricity and “peaker” power plants that allow the base power producers of all types to handle peak load times.
Large scale economical battery storage is exactly what is needed for wind and solar power production to become more widely used, and displace more carbon based power plants. Because, try as we might, the sun still sets every evening, and the wind stops blowing at least occasionally.
