The rare combination of solar, wind, and battery storage should hopefully soon be more common.

Solar and wind energy naturally work well together because of their opposite power hours—wind tends to be strongest at night, and the sunniest hours are during the day. Still, a key part here is the battery storage, which provides a little bit of an extra cushion for the intermittency of solar and wind energy. With all that storage, energy can be harnessed on demand, even if the sun and wind are nowhere to be seen.

. But since the massive climate bill passed, the door has opened for battery projects to nestle in with wind and other renewables as well.

Large scale solar, wind, & battery is terrible idea. First it kills protected animals which it shouldn't be doing in first place. Wind needs to be shelved. Solar & batteries need to be at each home where it is used, no transmission needed. Large scale green is bad. Localize it.

Lol. No.

Umm, no...currently looking at 20 years...not soon at all...

How about birds?

Arena supports Gibson Island hydrogen plansThe Australian Renewable Energy Agency (Arena) has awarded A$13.7-million in funding to green energy developer Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and its partner Incitec Pivot (IPL) to fund a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for the development of a large-scale renewable hydrogen production facility and conversion of IPL’s existing Gibson Island ammonia plant to use renewable hydrogen produced by the hydrogen facility. IPL’s Gibson Island facility will cease traditional fertiliser manufacturing early in the new year. As part of IPL’s decarbonisation strategy and in line with FFI’s goals to help heavy industry decarbonise, the Brisbane ammonia manufacturing and port facility conversion would be a world-first.
