Let's compare to a 1.6 GW nuclear plant. First, you need 32 solar plants to produce the equivalent of 1 nuclear plant. And you need 2 million tons of salt to provide that power over night. That's 20 US aircraft carriers of salt, or 4 World Trade Center towers of salt. For ONE night and it better be sunny the next day. Definitely a deal.
