[QUOTE="spiney, post: 291521, member: 192438"] Er, what I meant was, you use the wind power to pump water uphill, that's then "energy stored", and you let the water flow downhill again - through turbine generators - when power is wanted. [URL]http://www.biocrawler.com/encyclopedia/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity[/URL] . As for not enough water in SE England, you'd build any new resevoirs in North, where there's greater rainfall, it'd be daft in South where rainfall is lower! [/QUOTE]
