In Scotland we have an interesting solution to dealing with short term power surges and energy gluts at low usage times, see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruachan_Power_Station
The basic problem, which most fail to acknowledge, is too many people.
Reduce the world population and you solve most of the environmental problems. We are capable of doing this humanely and voluntarily once we ALL recognise the looming disasters of unrestrained overpopulation. If we don't choose to do this nature will do it for us, with catastrophies, droughts, extreme weather, sea level rise etc.
I'm pessimistic about us acting in time. It puts the restriction of our joyous use of Austin 7s into perspective...
