Thank you, you little grub, you The Redwood Forest Return of the Jedi Because of the giant trees and the alien flora, the Endor scenes for the Star Wars movie "Return of the Jedi" were filmed in the Tall Trees Redwood Grove located in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in the northern part of Humboldt County. George Lucas selected the site because the unusual features of the Redwood National Park area fit very nicely into the story line. images.google.com

The problem is similar to solar; matching production to demand. You can use other sources to replace shortfalls, but the surplus is hard to deal with; you need a lot of really big batteries. There are some ways around that; using the xs to pump water into a reservoir, making hydrogen, using it to compress air. Even electric vehicles... use solar to charge them during the day, and run some of that back into the grid at night. At least, that is the theory. Or, a world grid; send it all over the world; but you lose a lot during transmission.
