Hi, You would be amazed at the amount of energy you can muster using wind power to make compressed air. It is mechanically a simpler interface.
We were raised to believe in electricity. But......there ARE other interfaces.
Once you inderstand that, you begin to think outside the box.
Did I mention steam? You get a substantial boost of energy on the condensate side
for free from cold water( winter).
Imagine storing high pressure air in a hole drilled into the rock and sleeved with a silicone tube. Once you have your bank, you start charging it. Draw it down when you need it. And it does not pollute.
Every bit of energy you make on your own soil is money that stays on our shore, and jobs for Your own country.
Google...."Cars that run on compressed air". May you find it interesting.
Best regards, Dan
