Here is the 21st Century Storage and Transmission System for Wind Power
Two breakthroughs in renewable energy have been pioneered in combination by John Douglas; an investment banker with many renewable energy start-ups under his belt.
Together, the two in combination could provide the wind power deployment equivalent of the combination of the invention of the coal-fired steam electric power station – in tandem with the railroad to deliver the coal; that changed power generation in the 19th century.
One (Transmission Developers) would provide electricity transmission in underwater cables (previous story this week), that can be lain in aqueducts, riverbeds and lakes, or down ocean coastlines – clearing the one big hindrance to the development of renewable energy, which is the new transmission needed, and the NIMBYism that succeeds in prevents that from being built, because these would be out of sight.
The other, Riverbank Power – an equally innovative breakthrough, would provide a complete solution to storing wind power (previous story) effectively making it dispatchable base-load power. (more…)
