Sirtalksalot rated 5 weeks ago- They should have rang me, I'd have found something to do with it.

- Yeah i agree, we have all these wind, solar and hydro power but we are still lagging in the development of a better storage medium to store those unused energy for future use. Alternative Fuels; Hybrid SUV

- We really need better battery technology. These can be mechanical batteries as well. Such as gavinhudson's Water/hill solution.

- Can you imagine -- free electricity? Denmark Generates Too Much Wind Power, By: Susan Suarez From the page: Denmark has a problem with their wind turbines. Apparently it's generating too much power from wind. Right now, they are generating about 20% of their total electricity from wind power, and on windy days that percentage can double which has placed some strain on the electricity grid due to extreme fluctuations. In western Denmark the price of electricity can sometimes drop to 0 on a windy day which leaves utilities trying to find ways to offload the excess power. What a “good” problem to have! To come to the rescue, the Danish utility company Dong Energy has an ingenious plan to build a nationwide system to charge electric cars with the surplus wind power. They are partnering with the start-up company, Project Better Place, and plan to build the infrastructure to support the countrywide electric car system by 2010. Charging spot and battery-exchange services would be located across the country. The Danish government plans to raise its share of electricity from renewable powers to 30 percent by 2025. In addition, Denmark is looking to built stronger connections with nearby countries like Norway , Sweden and Germany to sell excess “cheap” electricity on windy days.

- Wish the US had a similar problem. Anyway, one solution is to store the energy by pumping H2O uphill and letting it sit in a reservoir to flow downhill when energy is needed.

- why they don't share that extra energy?

- Excess power from wind turbines? Awesome.
But the REAL story is the power company: Dong Energy. - Excess power from wind turbines? Awesome.
