Only slightly interesting. Some of the proponents came across
as real whackos and IMO didn't help their cause. Their view of
the situation wasn't very practical from an engineering standpoint
(cost vs. benefit of adding expensive and heavy batteries.)

The interesting thing about the article (to me) is seeing a combination
of left-wing enviros working together with right-wing "Get US out
of the UN" energy independence freaks ;->
