"The report focuses on a persistent problem facing renewable energy: how to store it. Storing fossil fuels like coal or oil until it''s time to use them isn''t a problem, but storage systems for solar and wind energy are still being developed that would let them be used long after the sun stops shining or the wind stops blowing," says Asher Klein for NBC10
