We are all aware, or at least bear in mind, what a struggle it is to generate enough energy for all our growing needs. Right now in the are not typical household electric lights, televisions, radios and computers on. Some of these elements are not being used: some of them are in rooms which are not yet occupied. We waste energy and complain about costs. We introduce a new time saving device and complain about costs. We hear of new technology and not just complain about the cost, but also on what they do not know and do not understand.

There are alternatives to the growing energy crisis alternative energy sources and storage methods of alternative energy, but should be given a chance before they can succeed. One such alternative is the sodium-sulfur (NAS) battery, which could end some of the concerns of energy storage, without creating new ones.

The battery NaS could end the need for new transmission lines, which cost millions of dollars each year for the installation and maintenance. This battery also could be beneficial in a number of applications, such as making wind power more viable as an unreliable energy source and providing a safe, energy back to the reliable source of electricity supply as winter devastating cuts that hit New York in the recent past.

"The demands energy are expected to increase by 30-50% by 2030 "(Davidson). If we have no methods to exploit other energy sources or to support this great need our big cities are overloaded power grids and imminent failure around the country. The NaS battery may be the answer to some of these concerns increasing. Not only can you use and storage of wind energy, but also makes it easy and efficient.

No area is home to a new substation electric power or any client want to pay more for their energy to account for new cables and transmission, but nobody wants to give up its high definition televisions and microwave ovens, either. The NaS battery could allow the two realities: no more than installing new substations or online and not rationing or limit the amount of energy used each day.

The NaS battery problem for the utilities and the communities we serve is the price. Reportedly, the cost is around 10% per kilowatt hour of coal fired plant. However, once the battery becomes more developed and produced in large quantities, the price could drop to a more competitive level.
