Storing Wind Power In Cold Stores
Roland Piquepaille writes "According to Nature, a European-funded project has been launched to store electricity created from wind in refrigerated warehouses used to store food. As the production of wind energy is variable every day, it cannot easily be accommodated on the electrical grid. So the 'Night Wind' project wants to store wind energy produced at night in refrigerated warehouses and to release this energy during daytime peak hours. The first tests will be done in the Netherlands this year. And as the cold stores exist already, practically no extra cost should be incurred to store as much as 50,000 megawatt-hours of energy. Here are additional details and a picture illustrating this brilliant idea."
I think really it all ties into OSTG's desire to be bought out for big $$$ by ZDNet or C|Net or even... Google? I mean come on! With so MANY of the stories here now coming from shills and whores like Roland, instead of from the MANY valid stories they get every day, well, doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out what the scam is here. Two words: Technocrat.net
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
At least we know what he looks like.
We, masters of google image search, knew this long ago
Reading the description in the summary reminded me of Windtraps, the power generators of Westwood's Dune 2. Great game. Those were the days... :)
