Researchers at MIT are proposing using a variation on pumped hydroelectric systems for storage of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. These structures would serve both as anchors to moor the floating turbines and as a means of storing the energy they produce. Earlier post.).

million grant to support the project’s development. Researchers at MIT had earlier demonstrated the ability to make biopropane (LPG from corn or sugarcane) using a supercritical water process, and created a startup (C3 BioEnergy) in 2007 that attempted to commercialize the technology.

The grants will go to projects in 17 states. This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. The aerobic microbe has been engineered at MIT and is capable of converting a variety of organic compounds into oil, from which biodiesel may be produced. Electrofuels: Biofuels from Electricity.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Then consider that in order to actually go any farther than the neighbood store, one still had to have ANOTHER car. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal.
