Is Climate Change Coming For Your Pancakes?

Storing Energy Underground
It’s true that wind and solar power are showing great promise as the world grapples with climate change. But, there’s a catch: The sun isn’t always shining and the wind isn’t always blowing.

That is the biggest obstacle facing the clean energy sector right now.
