Question: b. What are technological hurdles/barriers that need addressing, including specific comments on the grid that must transport electricity long distances from the alternative energy source

b. What are technological hurdles/barriers that need addressing, including specific comments on the grid that must transport electricity long distances from the alternative energy source (wind/PV in West Texas) to the user point (e.g., Houston). Also, address non-constant energy sources (PV and wind) and the need for storing electrical energy, if transportation is to be dependent on alternative energy (calm nights and cloudy days?)
