The systems storing heat in salt or oil that can stay running at night time are the most favored at this time.

It all sounds pretty feasible. Efficiency should be high if all goes as they plan. Cheap alternative to hydro or coal IF ...
Gonna need govt intervention in the regulatory part, though!

They could make it easier on themselves, if they'd consider moving the project to private land.
