How do you keep the power on when the wind won’t blow and the sun won’t shine? As California has discovered, it’s a problem that’s neither easy nor cheap to solve in the brave new world of renewables.
Green energy has been going strong lately. The Wall Street Journal reports that wind farms supplied a record 28% of power for the whole state of Texas on Feb. 9.
