> Also, has anyone though of how mind-numbingly wasteful solar fusion is? All that energy, and only a tiny fraction makes it to Earth with the rest getting dumped wastefully into space. Seems like an area that's ripe for disruption

Cool! Thanks for the link. A 10 kWh flywheel that can charge/discharge at 20 kW (lasts for 20~30 min at this power) costs ~11500 USD + installation and control system. A Tesla Powerwall has 13.5 kWh capacity, delivers power at ~6 kW an
