   Of course storage is possible.   
   It's been possible for decades.   
   If anything the problem is there are so many competing systems for storage   
   that a market leader has yet to emerge from the dogfight - but it's just a   
   matter of time. The current best option is the established pumped hydro   
   storage but there are lots of    
   others being developed.   
   The technology is leaping forwards on an almost monthly basis these days.   
   The wearisome 'windmills don't work when it's not windy" really is pathetic   
   'denial for dummies' stuff you know.   
   It's not like we have a choice - we either develop renewables rapid or the   
   lights go out. Nuclear is a total non-starter for all the obvious reasons.
