Probably not, but I can think of much worse ways to spend money and manpower.
As far as I know, the major problem with energy storage is one of efficiency.

Lots of smaller ones work just fine. Not sure we really need a giant.

It's my understanding that this giant battery is actually 600 Tesla"power packs" each containing 16 Tesla car batteries all wired together. That's 600 x 16 = 9600 small batteries working together as one large battery. Make sure that you are properly grounded (or not grounded, depending on circumstances) if you decide to touch it. |

Tesla car batteries? Maybe if they put the building on wheels, they could drive it around.  Bob |
