Everything is bigger in Texas.

"Everything is biger in Texas." It's a familiar phrase that we have known and adapted into vernacular language. Here is an astounding example of taking "big" to the extreme, as the town of Presidio in Texas has built the largest NaS battery in the US. Presidio had long been troubled with power outages due to a single cable connection with the national grid and hereby have safegaurded themselves against power failure with this megalithic structure.

The reasoning behind the mega-battery? The completion of this safegaurd cost $25 million to install whereas a second cable connection to the power grid would have run somewhere around $50 million. Also, Presidio Texas will always know that theirs is the biggest.
