Well, we want to get rid of the coal entirely (that is those of us who care about climate change), so that's a big gap to fill. Putting SMRs in coal plants to leverage the existing power gen and transmission is a very appealing proposition. It seems that storage is a key part of the solution, and being able to distribute that more so that every neighborhood can have resiliency and the ability to charge fleets of EVs w/o taxing the grid. Batteries win on convenience and are only going to get cheaper, but it would be nice to have other options. Flywheels are cool but Beacon Power's failure leaves that landscape looking bleak. Thermal storage seems like the best/cheapest option other than batteries. I think we have enough technical solutions today -- now it's a matter of will and economic incentives.
