When I was in high school I wrote about a certain project which the name escapes me now, but they use high pressure storage. To balance the load so that there are no theoretical peaks is that during the night this city pumps air into old salt caverns to about 1100 PSI and during the day the pressure is released turning generators to fight the peak during the day.
Or if you're interested... Go Solar!

You are probably right about the 10% not being lost, but eventually it will be lost combining the power lost in the wire and the power lost in the transformers.

Normally the /. effect only affects websites. It looks like now the city's power distribution will now be ./'ed :)

What is it with you jackasses and your hacked up geekspeak?
Well actually I do know what I am talking about, but I am having a pissy day and I just want to take it out on someone. -JJS
If Intel ever came across this technology they would be sure to screw it up just like the P4 processors they put out. -JJS
