It would be most efficient to transmit excess power to regions that can use it. Storing energy is a last resort, although a necessary one. There will always be need to store energy if we are to rely on renewables to a large extent, but the best solution is always to send excess supply to places unable to meet their demand.
freebeard- great post expounding on the topic. Not sure what you think of cleantechnica, but I boycott them due to the cult-like environment their unobjective leader has created, and their gross misrepresentation of and outright deceit of facts.
