Regarding storage batteries for solar and wind, one of the ideas I like is to generate hydrogen from water and store the energy in the form of hydrogen. Toyota has announced that they will have a hydrogen fuel cell powered auto in the showrooms in 2014.



They are going to call it the Zeppelin.

Just kidding. Hydrogen stores a lot of energy and is very volatile. That's why its not found free in nature, it has to be generated. You can't ignore the laws of thermo dynamics, it takes a lot of energy to generate adequate supplies of it. Not sure wind and solar at present or ever will generate enough. So most likely we are talking hydrogen produced on the present fossil grid.



No, we are talking about producing hydrogen on site at wind farms and solar farms. It is already being done on smaller scales.
