Wind energy
This is one of the two wind turbines on the very small island called Utsira outside the west coast of Norway. It is a test project that supplies 10 houses with electric power. In periods of low consumption, the energy is stored in hydrogen tanks that can be tapped when demand is high and production is low. It is an interesting prospect that could potentially be scaled up to supply large communities. The hydrogen can of course also be used to fuel cars. A blog entry for this photo can be found here.
