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
