It seems clear that na-ion batteries will replace large scale grid storage especially in cold climates. This isn't another hyped up battery.

I don't think cold climates will be that different here. grid scale storage doesn't care about outside temp because heating/cooling a warehouse is pretty cheap

Heating and cooling is pretty energy-intensive, which comes right out of the marginal profit of owning batteries. They might as well hook up the heating/cooling system to the batteries.
