What is the problem? The collection, or the storage? Seems like using energy obtained now, can be stored by using it to push water up a grade. Get your energy by letting the water do what it does at hydroelectric plants (come down a grade n' turn turbines.) Why do we have to do Nuclear when we should be using the damn Sun?
