Thanks gg...a frustrating read. You would think that Richard Blackwell's research skills in developing his wind story for the "Globe and Mail" would have come up at least the concept of creating an 'inventory' of wind's power.

It's frustrating to note the number of times I've read about wind's intermittent shortcomings and the potential of "storing" its generated power to better balance supply and demand is rarely even considered - let alone mentioned as a future possibility.

Whenever I can find the author's e-mail, I write to them and bring the developments in electrical storage -- and VRB in particular -- to their attention.

Sometimes that efforts bears fruit. A letter to RenewableEnergyAccess.com (http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com/rea/home) brought about an interview with VRB's Tim Hennessy which will be podcast on their weekly "podcast" show sometime during the weekend of Nov. 11 - 12.

Education will be one of the most important tactical elements that will be needed in a marketing campaign if there is ever to be a successful commercialization of VRB's technology.

Unfortunately that usually takes time.

Patience grasshoppers.
