I notice that other compression schemes have had to burn large amounts of natural gas in order to
heat up the expanding air as it is released to drive turbine generator. Although not mentioned, this will have to do the same. Legally, that would
disqualify this wind power as an emission free source of power and say bye bye to the massive 1.9 cent per kilowatt hour gov welfare and gigantic tax breaks, which is the only thing keeping the wind industry , with its horrible economics, on life support. I also note that 12 or so hours of reserve is nowhere near enough to allow this wind power to qualify as a peak demand provider - the wind is unreliable, as in UNRELIABLE, and can go for days MIA, not just 12 hours. And, of course, the windmill's ability to destroy property values in a single stroke, remains intact. Hoorah.
