Even so, solar-thermal developments continue to unfurl across the planet's sunniest expanses, driven by the growing demand for energy storage and cleaner heat sources. Inside the tower, molten salts are heated to 565 °C and flow down into storage tanks, turning water into steam to drive turbines. It's flexible.

Compact tokamaks like CFS’s could reverse the developmental trends that have dominated the last 40 years of fusion energy, which have fixated on building bigger and bigger machines. The largest by far is Iter , a collaborative international effort to build a massive tokamak in Cadarache, France. But that’s not going to happen.

MIT professor Donald Sadoway and his team have demonstrated a long-cycle-life calcium-metal-based liquid-metal rechargeable battery for grid-scale energy storage, overcoming the problems that have precluded the use of the element: its high melting temperature, high reactivity and unfavorably high solubility in molten salts.
