Don't get me wrong, I have a deep detestation for megacities and skyscrapers BUT I must say that from a purely #science point of view, the idea is interesting 🤔
The idea : #RenewableEnergy is intermittent, so #energy storage and release will be critical in the next few decades. IIASA researchers have put forth a fascinating solution, proposing to turn skyscrapers into giant gravity batteries for remarkably cheap renewable energy storage 🌆⚡
