From Chris Eve, Lynton, Devon, UK
The UK government seems wedded to colossally expensive power generation projects to supply baseload electrical energy: first nuclear, now bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (5 June, p 13).
But it is energy storage, not baseload, that we need in the transition to renewable power. I wonder how feasible it would be to convert gas-fired power stations to burn hydrogen produced from wind or solar power, storing the hydrogen until needed?
