I don't know how many flywheels will replace the battery racks. I think you are correct that KwHours will be a better predictor than # of terminals. I also doubt that BA will immediately refurbish all 20,000 sites immediately. I've seen hi-tek manufacturing operations get off the ground, and I imagine that Beacon is going to have a trial-and-error period as they ramp up production. So I would be surprised if demand is the limiting part of the equation. I would expect supply to be the choke point.

Here's someone's conjecture that I pulled off of Yahoo!. I think Salley probably has an inside track on info.
