Savings from oil and coal importation
From Clean Technica by Nathan | May 23, 2013
About 85,000 homes could be powered by compressed air, energy storage facility deep in the porous rocks of the mountains in the Northwest USA.
Wind farms operate best at night when there are no users of the power and therefore could be wasted energy. This energy could be used to compress air and stored deep under the porous rocks of the mountains; at daytime when demand rises, the compressed air could be used to run turbines to power electricity. How ingenious!
Two sites have been discovered that are near the power lines: the Columbia Hills site and Yakima Mineral site located at Eastern Washington.
The study was made for BPA (Bonneville Power Administration) 13% or 8,600 of the BPA comes from wind hence the study was made.
