There are more options for this type of energy storage, because it's stationary (not moving in a vehicle). | |||
===Per capita=== | |||
How much storage is this really? Most people aren't familiar with terajoules. Let's express it instead in terms of "gallons of gasoline equivalent energy" per person. | |||
