    They did test those block towers to see if they were resistant to earthquakes, and they were still standing after a test comparable to the strongest earthquake in California. Though I agree that compared to the other options available it does look way more unsafe and inefficient.

      I do hope they get somewhere with this idea, because novel energy storage that’s clean is always a good thing to pursue, but ever since I first saw this idea back in the mid-2010s, it’s never materialized due to unforseen issues when it scales up to real-world use.
