I...Pete: You have a nice almost-complete listing. I would like to add the concept of biomass (stored solar energy) as a replacement for natural gas when your list becomes too expensive for seldom used storage. In particular, Biochar (using pyrolysis rather than combustion) production can occur at any time - and seems to be the least-cost means of achieving carbon negativity. The added cost for thinking of Biochar production as a storage option is relatively low. This could work well especially with the CSP option, allowing true base load - 100% RE.<br />RonRon Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167108728276584434noreply@blogger.com
