Billions of dollars invested to develop a new liquid

Meanwhile in Finland: https://polarnightenergy.com/news/worlds-largest-sand-battery-now-in-operation/

(Sand is one of the best ways to store heat and you get probably 4727482 tons of it for the price of 1ml of that novel liquid)

Edit: I am exaggerating slightly, in case some smooth brain did not get the hint already.
