I like to picture the future of wind production as a big closed system where the windmills pump water uphill to a lake with a hydro electric dam that drains the water back down to the lower lake.
I know the idea has a ton of problems, but it would solve the peak demand power issues and if done right would result in the creation of two new lakes in Alberta. I think we can all agree that this province has a dearth of lakes.
