Cool. Energy storage certainly counts. It's a nicely left of field concept, as a bottleneck remover.
If energy storage can get onto a rapid improvement path, all sorts of options might suddenly be feasible. But I have to say that the idea of a flywheel storing enough energy to power a house sounds scary, never mind anything bigger. What happens if the stabilisation fails somehow?

However, this is yet to be seen in production, so YMMV.
