Excellent. Allow me to go offtopic for a bit:

cleantechnica.com:800 Megawatt Bay State Wind US Offshore Project Partners To Combine Energy Storage
Quote:
Earlier this month, the 800 megawatt Bay State Wind offshore project being developed jointly by Ørsted and Eversource off the coast of Massachusetts announced a deal which will see it work with local NEC Energy Solutions to develop an energy storage solution for the offshore wind farm.
/r/Futurology:The most cost-effective sustainable energy generation system for the US could have the potential to generate over 3,700 TWh of extra useful energy which is enough to extract 500,000,000 metric tons of CO2 per year.
Quote:
By considering oversized PV, the algorithm approximated the energy storage requirements for increasingly oversized PV. The result was a graph showing all possible configurations of PV and energy storage.
They like 2x PV and carbon sequestration for best ROI. That sounds like a carbon-tax friendly scenario.

Tangential to the topic: Re-green 1/3rd of the planet
