What was once seen as the solution to all our CO2 problems, the ability of trees to soak up anthropogenic carbon dioxide, trees has itself been hindered by global warming.

The important point, missed in this page and the comments on it, is that the energy is stored as latent heat of fusion. The mass is effectively a constant temperature heat sink/source over a wide range. There is nothing new in the world of course - this approach was extensively studied at BICC Research in the early 70's for peak lopping/load shifting for heating systems. The materials studied then had melting points in the 30 - 40 C range, but I don't remember the latent heat values. At that time it was rejected as too large and heavy - then the oil crisis passed. How does it compare with flow cells?
