By way of example, if a two-tier reservoir system was constructed and during times of excess wind energy the surplus was used to pump water from the lower to the higher reservoir, and the water was then used to run hydro-turbines during times of lower wind energy production.
Would some type of 'green energy battery' like this, be one answer to the drawbacks with wind-power?

I've heard a rumour that the amount of energy needed to charge a battery now and again, causes more pollution indirectly i.e. by means of coal-stations. Is this true, so what about other sources of electricity like hydro power or the like? getting rid of the major greenhouse culprit CO2

There is something inherently wrong when the data used is incomplete, obsolete, and when taken out of context, is overexaggerated and misunderstood.

Any one agree?

either way, back yourself up...

I'm not here to confirm my ideas...but merely to see what information is out there, and why i may be wrong.

but i've done enough research (and still am) to come up with some of my own conclusions...i just want to know both sides of this argument.

Think about it: Since for every action, there is a reaction, then if we had too many wind farms the reaction would be to slow down the earth until there was no more wind.
Then again, it would never happen since no one wants one built in their back yard. Not even Ted Kennedy.

I just want to get an idea of how much more intensively a greenhouse water use is compared to growing the crop outdoors. Ideally I am looking for examples from greenhouses located in the northwest pacific region or at least in canada. Any help with this will be much appreciated!

If we use a lot more corn for fuel purposes, will there be less available for food, here and abroad? If so, will that increase food prices, not only for grain products but meat prices due to increases in cost of grain for feeding livestock?
