It's not even remotely on the same scale. There are three massive utility-level flywheel deployments according to Wikipedia that provide 15 minutes of output. Edit: Seems the purpose is purely frequency regulation, rather than storage

They are pleased that, to their knowledge, they employ over 100 parents. First of all, it's fricking telling that a company isn't even aware whether or not its own employees have kids, and has to resort to eyeballing insurance num
