Storing energy has been a goal of scientists for a long time. With green technologies this is especially important because the wind and sun are active only at certain times depending on weather conditions. An Iowa Energy storage park is being thought of and conceptualized around compressing air and using the heat that is produced as well, for storing energy. Of course, you are going to have large frictional losses as well, but it is an interesting idea. The Iowa Stored Energy Park, with wind turbines and all that nice stuff is supposed to be in operation by 2011, so let's see how it goes. The ISEP is at Iowa Stored Energy Park. All rights reserved
