I live in Manitoba , a province of Canada where all but a tiny fraction of electricity is generated from the potential energy of water. There is no end of gushing about China’s cheap solar panels—but when was the last time you saw a paean to hydroelectricity? Construction of large dams began before World War II.

As the fraction of electricity generation from intermittent renewable sources—such as solar or wind—grows, the ability to store large amounts of electrical energy is of increasing importance. Solid-electrode batteries maintain discharge at peak power for far too short a time to fully regulate wind or solar power output.
