These numbers might be reused on other wikipages to assess the large-scale viability of various types of energy storage. Don't worry if you're not familiar with <code>terajoules</code> as an [[energy/units|energy unit]]. | |||
TODO: | |||
* Improve the above commented-out calculations. | |||
* Put them in templates {{Grid energy storage}} and {{Vehicle energy storage}} | |||
* Use the templates on the wikipage of each energy storage type. | |||
