 To some people they are just big holes in the ground - but to others they represent a means of "doing it better" - innovation is the key

A new method of improving the efficiency of wind turbines is taking shape outside Dallas Center, Iowa. A group of local utilities is working out the issue of “how to store the excess energy windmills create when demand is low so it can be used later, when the need is greater.”

This is a novel approach to a problem - we need to be innovative and this is one way - I'd like to see some more of the technical detail - Engineering is a wonderful thing and has the ability to solve a lot of problems.
