Convert Oil Wells to Solve the Solar Storage Problem

Cars That Think

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. We’re just going to combine them, so we think that the technical risk is pretty low.”
