I'm also just blown away by how lateral China is able to invest & grow. They attached the first 100MW 400MWh vanadium redox flow battery, the Dalian Flow Battery Energy Storage Peak-shaving Power Station, in 2022. VRFB don't experience cell degradation, should keep working for decades and decades, which radically alters the lifecycle cost. And they scale capacity by just having more tanks, which is awesome too. It's epic, sustaining innovation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanadium_redox_battery https://newatlas.com/energy/worlds-largest-flow-battery-grid...
