    Another approach that we are taking is wind/hydrogen. As the wind often blows all night when electricity demand goes down, some wind farms are building hydrogen plants next to wind farms. The excess electricity which can't be stored anyway is used to create hydrogen fuel.

    wind turbines are air friendly but they are a blight on the landscape
    I think some are quite nice looking...

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
