RedOrbit: Stanford University scientists, publishing a paper in the journal Energy and Environmental Science, calculated the energy required to store wind and solar power on the electrical grid to determine the total amount of fuel and electricity required to build and operate storage technologies. "We looked at batteries and other promising technologies for storing solar and wind energy on the electrical grid," said Charles Barnhart, the lead author of the study and a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford`s...
