Excess wind energy to be stored underground for future use

Oct 6th 2007 3:02AM (Engadget)

This is far from new. Here in Germany we have such a thing as part of a wind craft park, which is almost 40 years old. The problem is, you have to cool down the compressed air so it doesn't damage the cavern and when you decompress it, you have to heat it up, because it is extremely cold then.

This process costs a lot of energy, so only half of the saved energy can be restored.

€ 350 for an Elite? Big deal! I bought my (brand new) Elite last Christmas for € 320.

This is no bargain at all. I bought my brand new XBox 360 Premium for 299.00 Euros half a year ago.

There are lots of online dealers (check Ebay) who can sell you one for that price.

Black Xbox 360 Premium rumor for $299 will not die

I can indirectly confirm this. A week ago, prices for the XBox360 Premium dropped to 290..300 Euro here in Germany. A few Ebay dealers and online shops have it available for this price, while most others still try to get 350..400 Euros.
