In June I heard a report about a new EU - wide study done in the UK that showed clearly that by combining all forms of renewables:
wind all over Europe, solar in North Africa, hydo, hydro storage, solar thermal, and demand management, you could meet a slowly growing EU load

peaking plants to help level the load.
So we still have quite a ways to go, particularly when you're trying to get from 20 percent of the energy sources up to the eventual 100 percent we need, where then you run into the big challenge of intermittency [dips and
peaks in power as
wind and solar sources vary] and the cost of adding storage that would deal
with that.
In explaining the value of BrightSource Energy's concentrating solar power (CSP) plants
