This is very cool, it is neat the solutions countries come up with when they have mature strategic direction around for a developing alternative technologies
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.

I saw news on the PACER breach few weeks back... this is particularly egregious, yet also unsurprising:

The Common Vulnerability and Exposures program (CVE) gave the infosec industry a standardized way to quantify impact and prioritize cyber vulnerabilities for the last 20ish years. We will be grappling with the impact for a while. Hope a more mature and long-term vision country (EU) can take this on.

This is a dangerous precedent. This country has determined adversaries who are bent on compromising our critical infrastructure. CISA's eroding capabilities leave businesses on their own, trying to coordinate across industry sectors and giving our adversaries a hand.
