Re: Getting High on Solar===pumped-storage in HawaiiTo store 24 hours of power for the 30,000,000 Amerians....requires pumping 2 cubic mile of water up 1,000 feet. Thus 2* (5,000 * 5,000 * 5,000) cubic feet, or 250Billion cubic feet. To store 24 hours of power for a mere 30 THIRTY Americans requires pumping a mere 250,000 cubic feet of water up 1,000 feet.That is about 60 by 60 by 60 cubic feet. Not a particularly large reservoir. And that's good for 24 hours. |
