The old adage; where there’s a will, there’s a way!

One of the complaints about solar, wind and most renewable energies is that they cannot be efficiently stored.

So, with that problem in mind, the scientists get to work.

Of course, what is capable in a laboratory isn’t always immediately transferable to the “real world”. But give it time.

Realgy invest in technologies that produce energy today that is cost effective and with the lowest emissions possible. The future holds much promise that we will be able to continue to do that in many ways.
