Convert Oil Wells to Solve the Solar Storage Problem

Cars That Think

A possible answer, though, might lie in oil wells. The California-based Hyperlight Energy will be piloting an installation where they plan to use existing oil wells as solar thermal wellsprings, with the stored energy being converted back to clean electricity when required. But we can still reduce the carbon [cost] of that oil.”
