I was never sure how consumers would take to the idea though, telling them you plug your car in to charge but sometimes we'll take power back out of it! And I am sure the power companies would find a way to charge you for both directions.
That's cool how the turbines at Cruachan work both ways around, as generators and as pumps.
In Victoria and New South Wales we are starting to build a pumped storage (better late than never? )
South Australia has a big battery (only one !)
Electric Cars are not a proposition, at least not with primarily coal fired power .
Alternative fuels?
