Courtesy MIT/NSF Saving up energy for use at night Want to be energy independent? Solar and wind energy are great but what do you do when the sun goes down and the wind doesn't blow? Batteries with the needed capacity are very expensive. Energ
This is a nice idea, but actually an old one. I think that storing energy is not a real problem here, but producing it. The challenge is to make more efficient solar panels, and other solar solutions and not different, complicated storage devices.
