Better Computer Models Needed for Mega Wind Farms

2. I agree with you re: molten salt storage.

Unfortunately, they just don't make as much sense right now (and won't until solar PV penetration gets much higher).

PV prices have come down so much... and most places where molten solar would make the most sense are also places with lots of peak demand right around the times where solar PV is peaking too.

I think we'll keep seeing the occasional molten project just so that the technology can advance and developers can refine their construction process... but they won't be big players until the need for storage is more acute.
