I’ve been seeing trailer trucks carrying blades for wind mills for the past several months. Maybe this is where they’ve been heading. These blades are huge ,one blade takes up the entire truck bed.

Both companies said they'll also research whether compressed air can be stored and used to drive the wind-driven turbines at times of low winds or peak demand.

I can not imagine how this would be feasible.

Compressed air storage for peak power demand has been around for a couple of decades. But they use enclosed turbines similar to a steam turbine.

How could you possibly use compressed air to turn a wind turbine whose blades are 180 degrees apart and 20 to 30 feet long?

One megawatt of electricity is enough to light 1,000 homes.

I sure hope those 1,000 homes don't all fire up their 1,500 watt hair dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners and toasters all at the same time. Yet another example of journalist innumeracy.
