The water battery is the cheapest way to store enegy there is for the most part. Imagine a battery big enough made of lead and acid?

I have a friend who works in a power plant and he tells me the same thing the others on here that work in the powerplants have said. He also says that the biggest problem we have is no real means (other than the water battery) to store energy so it has to be made almost as its consumed and if its not there everybody complains!!

One other thing I have wondered about. Its sorta small yet still uses a good amount of energy. I live in Michigan. A good amount of the year its freezing out. So instead of a fridge that runs to cool itself why don't fridges have an attachment point that runs outside and nothing but a small fan drawing air thru a filtered (don't want bugs in) device and that air would keep the food cold. For the much smaller price of a tiny fan running VS a compressor. When its realllly cold outside it would run less. If it gets to warm then the fridges compressor would have to kick in. This would not work in all areas but better than half the USA could use this for a dang good part of the year. It may not be practical but I do not see why it would not be.
