Default Re: wind power texas

They ahve a "water battery" near Ludington, Michigan too (Just north of the Silver Lake Sand Dunes) Its been there for well over 15 years. You can see it on maps and google earth.

When you are driving up 31 to Ludington you can see all the massive powerlines that bring the juice in and out. You can also see the HUGE walls of the reservoir as you drive along side it on 31 for a couple plus miles.

Its one of those things where the wind always blows in this area as well. I would imagine it would be something to have air driven water pumps that help to fill the reservoir from Lake Michigan whenever the wind blows.
