kristopher,

It's nice to say "storage" and "smart grid" - but where are they???

There no "storage" that has ANYWHERE NEAR the capacity required.

The only energy storage technology that comes close is "pumped hydro" and we don't have anywhere NEAR the amount of pumped hydro storage that would be required to run the grid on renewables.

Instead of building pumped hydro; the "greenies" are all having wet dreams about such anemic technologies as Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technologies.

Show me where we have a several gigawatt-days worth of V2G storage.

SHEESH!!!
