For some time the self storage industry has been moving toward climate-controlled self storage in their steel and metal buildings. People will be a lot more willing to leave their sentimental family heirlooms in your possession when they know there's no danger from extreme heat or cold. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you're building your facility.

Because it can be stored indefinitely, natural gas is the most readily available of the fossil fuels. The exploration, production, and transportation of natural gas takes time.

Engineers and sceintists are looking into new and innovative ways to store the energy produced by wind power over in Ireland. This looks to be a promising area for research. Instead of letting the energy slip away or only be used for current demand (no pun intended) situations they may be able to find a solution that stores large quantities of the power for on demand usage by utility customers.

Here is a quote from the news article:

"A new study is under way to ascertain and quantify the potential economic benefits of coupling vanadium redox batteries with wind farms in Ireland.

Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI) and Tapbury Management are funding the study, which will be carried out in collaboration with VRB Power Systems. VRB is a Canadian electrochemical energy storage company that patented and brought to market the Vanadium Redox Battery Energy Storage System."
