I think I read somewhere that salt can be used as energy storage medium? So we could get both water and batteries for renewal energy.

- xyzzyz 4mo agoIt’s about thermal storage, you don’t use table/sea salt for that, and you don’t need a lot of salt, because the salt is in a closed loop; it’s not being consumed.
- galaxyLogic 4mo agoBut more thermal storage you want more salt you want, and it's gotta cost something, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-salt_battery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-salt_battery
- xyzzyz 4mo agoIf you read the article you sent me, you'll learn that, just as I said, you don't use sodium chloride, aka table salt, aka sea salt, for these purposes.
