That was everybody's dream... sweet or sour.
Some times ago there were even rumors about such batteries, locked-up securely somewhere in Fort Knox... because oil producers industry did not want it.
Now that oil burning is increasingly unpopular (CO2 and so on), maybe they decided it is a right time to cash it..
Or this (what I wrote here) is just another conspiracy theory
However, such battery will decrease emissions only if nuclear power is used more widely (and/or other "clean" energy sources... for charging those batteries) .
