Not a very smart troll that's for sure.
"Chemical batteries are leaky and inefficient for storage. The typical lithium battery has to be kept on a charger to store 100% otherwise it quickly drains.
That is why smart utilities are storing energy as hydrogen...which never loses a single joule of energy while stored."
That inane statement can be quickly disproven by the simple test of unplugging a laptop overnight and then seeing how the state of charge changes. Answer? really not very much. Electricity storage would be for a matter of hours so losses would be very low. Now, please let us all know what the efficiency of electrolysis of water is?

Have you seen this one?

A very elegant solution I think.

Err no. In what way are they wasteful? And what would the electricity companies do with all that stored juice then? Storage capacity would make electriicty cheaper because it enables off-peak electricity to be dropped back in at peak times.

I don't see that as a big problem, Max. Portable devices are always going to be very efficient, however much storage you have. And if they replace desktop and even laptop usage then more the better.

There's a pretty comprehensive run down on the technology on the Oil Drum (via Ecogeek)
