Soda ash energy storage

How much would soda ash cost per kWh?

There would be hundreds of TWH of power storage from each billion tons of soda ash. Based on material costs of $4 per kWh there could be $8 to $10 per kWh sodium ion batteries in the future. This would be ten times cheaper than energy storage batteries today. Soda Ash Mine in Wyoming
