Energy can be stored, in various ways.

Care to elaborate on that?

I'm not a physicist, but I imagine there are many ways of storing energy -
batteries, electrolysis, raising water or other materials,
spinning wheels, synthesizing methane.
I'm sure an expert could suggest a dozen other ways.

I've no idea if any of these are commercially viable,
but I didn't say they were.

Not only are hey not commercially viable, they are not even possible in
many cases.

I am sorry if we confused you with a Green, but you display all; the
usual symptoms - ignorance of the technology, hopeless optimism and a
naiveté in assuming that people haven't thought of all this before and
the reason we don't run the country of banks of Duracells is on account
of it not actually working.

In short you appear on the surface to be the perfect Green, you think
everyone else is as stupid and ignorant and mathematically challenged as
you appear to be.

I simply stated, what is obvious, that energy can be stored.


Wow! Blinding revelation! WE are so ****ing impressed.

Water is wet, you know.

Sheesh, you are so far behind the curve you think you are ahead.

Personally I blame Blair and Nu Labia.,. telling everyone how wonderful
they were, they all now believe it.
