Hi Veeky Forums. I'm curious to your ideas on how close we are to developing the technology to better store solar energy. Wouldn't this largely solve the renewable energy crisis if we could find a proper environmental way of storing it?
While the topic is at hand, if anyone has any recommendations for documentaries on the electric grid that would be greatly appreciated

It would cost $80 trillion to feed the world's energy needs with wind water solar and storage
It would cost at most $20 million to use nuclear
meant $20 trillion obviously
If haven't heard of any technology that could store solar energy, but there exist a technology for storing electrical energy, known as 'batteries'.
But they're not very environmentally friendly at the moment
Amen but three chances of going nuclear is bleak

- batteries
- fuel for fuel cells
- heat reservoirs
- even less efficient but longer term:
storage in some very inert material that can be easily and cheaply triggered to release its energy without producing greenhouse gases or other harmful effects
Thank you guys. Although it wasn't what i was originally looking for it might help me
