Windless wind-power fuels Norwegian island (AFP). AFP - How to get that coffee maker working when all is still and the local windmill just won't budge? By pioneering a new way of storing alternative energy, a small Norwegian island may have solved the problem that has had researchers scratching their heads for eons.
 Situated off the southwest coast of Norway and unsheltered from the elements in the North Sea, Utsira island has launched a pilot project involving the transformation of surplus electricity produced by wind into hydrogen. It can be stored for use on calm days or for when wind god Aeolus is huffing and puffing so hard that windmills can't be used.
