@TRLK - whilst I agree with your observation about it all being to do with storing energy, your justifications as to why batteries are not suitable are wide of the mark. In short, there's no, and unlikely to ever be, a conventional battery technology that can store the generated output of a 268-megawatt system.

Now an *unconventional* battery system like this, or http://www.fhc.co.uk/dinorwig.htm is ideal.

BTW I've been to Dinorwig and it rocks. Quite literally. US owned as well I seem to remember.
