Sand batteries are literally just silos of sand that retain heat exceptionally well -- so well that they can be tied to heat exchange systems to serve as proxy *electrical* batteries. Finland's new model can store enough power (100 MWh) to heat an entire town for a week. newatlas.com/energy/large...

A source on the NFLPA call with all 32 player reps said it was clear many players haven’t been keeping up with union developments which led to a flurry of questions and catch-up conversations during the meeting and today.

One complaint I heard from a veteran agent source in light of Howell’s resignation was feeling an ongoing lack of transparency and information-sharing from the union itself to players or their representation. Aside from some players just not keeping up with news, that seems relevant.
