Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods.

N ot that long ago, the idea that the transportation sector might actually provide energy back into the stationary generation sector was pretty much on the outside of the bell curve of acceptable thinking. Here's an example from Spectrum Online : Can plug-in hybrid electric vehicles keep the electric grid stable?

Transitioning our transportation infrastructure to a fully electric model is an urgent task. Yet it places unprecedented demand on our electrical grid. Just to drive 100 miles, the average electric vehicle (EV) uses the same amount of electricity that it takes to power a typical U.S. What Is Vehicle-to-Grid Technology?

AC is the type of electricity that flows through power grids and into homes and businesses, including to power EV chargers. DC is the type stored in batteries. AC can be thought of as "low and slow" charging, while DC is very fast and powerful. Which Do I Need? Let’s say you have an hour to spare.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. While utilities such as E.ON
