Good news on energy-Getting serious about it

A mega wind energy project with a super underground storage facility to store surplus energy (kind of like a battery, I gather).



"The proposed project would generate more than twice the amount of electricity produced by the giant 1930s-era hydroelectric dam in Nevada – 9.2 million megawatt-hours per year vs. 3.9 million megawatt-hours.

A key component of the project – a massive underground energy storage facility – would yield 1,200 megawatts of electricity. That's equivalent to the output of a large nuclear power plant.

The size and scope of the project would be enough and enough to serve an estimated 1.2 million residences in Los Angeles."
