Sure, thermal is great where it's possible. But there aren't that many places where district heating is viable.

I'm not talking about district heating. I'm talking about high temperature storage for conversion back to electricity. Round trip efficiency could be around 40%, better than green hydrogen burned in combined cycle plants.
