[FRIAM] speculative marketing

[Roger Critchlow]

A good use of existing power plant sites with their transmission lines,
too.

Combine it with the gravity store towers by stacking up shipping containers
of batteries.  You now have a built-in way to extract and replace
malfunctioning containers.  The replacements and returns can transit on
existing logistics networks.  Put a short stack at every power substation
with available parking.  Probably need to find smooth shipping routes that
won't shake the batteries to dust.
