Scientists in Sweden have developed a specialised fluid, called a solar thermal fuel, that can store energy from the sun for well over a decade.

The researchers have put the fluid through this cycle more than 125 times, picking up heat and dropping it off without significant damage to the molecule.

"We have made many crucial advances recently, and today we have an emissions-free energy system which works all year around," says Moth-Poulsen.

After a series of rapid developments, the researchers claim their fluid can now hold 250 watt-hours of energy per kilogram, which is double the the energy capacity of Tesla's Powerwall batteries, according to the NBC.

Scientists in Sweden have developed a specialised fluid, called a solar thermal fuel, that can store energy from the sun for well over a decade.

The Swedish have the motivation to store energy, could be used for heating and cooling.

Besides collecting hot air from Congress, WH, SCOTUS and from all those lobbyists in DC, there are 50 state legislatures that produce a lot of it and a lot of churches.
