Default Flywheel energy storage

I've had flywheel energy storage in my head ever since I read in a PopSci issue (somewhere in 1995-1999) about plans to use flywheels buried next to houses for backup energy when the grid goes down, or to relieve grid load. I've been waiting for this to happen and... nothing
So today I searched around and found this great blog: Damn Interesting - The Mechanical Battery. The comments are actually the best part. I'm still going through them, but thought I'd go ahead and share my find now.

Here's more info: One megawatt of grid storage, 10 big flywheels.
