power and energy are different - energy storage solutions

Opinion November, wind and Sky are key to the future of energy.
I don't think I can trust someone who doesn't know the difference between power and energy --
Watt is not a unit of energy, but a unit of energy.
I can have 12,600-
But if the wind doesn't blow, the energy I get is zero.
A better option may be renewable earth energy, geothermal, which is more reliable and can be produced continuously, but cheaper than nuclear energy.
But this requires fracking, and "we" are waiting for the oil and gas industry to make all the mistakes to refine the technology before we make it obsolete.

We have done this and will continue to develop solar and wind energy.
What we need is a storage solution.
We already have a power surplus due to overproduction, and often pay to throw it away from our electricity network.
The more "green energy" we develop, the more we need to find storage solutions, which is unpredictable.
