My recent post about Hydrogen was not too far off. Jetstream Wind, Inc. in New Mexico has announced plans for using wind and solar to produce energy, and use the excess to produce Hydrogen. In this case they are not selling the excess, but burning it to spin turbines when extra is needed.
This plant doesn’t address the issue of long distance transmission, as all power will stay local, but the concept is sound and is a good way to reduce the output variability of wind and solar.
