Large-scale ‘sand battery’ goes online in Finland
I mean it’s already there and has been for 60 years. I’m sure its polution pales in comparison to the 200,000+ cars driving in the area daily.
Back when the coal power plant was built it was pretty normal to live near coal burning things.

Unless it has a lot of flue scrubbing, it's likely to be far, far worse than 200,000 reasonably modern cars in terms of things like fine particulate matter emissions, NOx and SOx emissions, etc. which are the real bad ones for health issues.
