A roadblock that’s standing in the way of alternative energy is energy storage. People have been traditionally using batteries and flywheels for that purpose, but their uses are limited and the energy they can provide (at least in the battery’s case) costs pretty much. SustainX, a company specialized in compressed air energy storage (CAES), has […]
