In this episode, we dive into the solution for getting us off of fossil-fuel energy: a giant, pumped storage hydro project. The CEO and project coordinator for this big wet battery is Carl Borgquist, the CEO of Absaroka Energy. Carl takes us through the ins and outs of how he is using water to make up for the base load power with his pumped storage project: the Gordon Butte.
As Northwestern Energy plans on digging deeper into a future of fossil-fuels, this renewable energy battery is on the market for cheaper, cleaner energy. Pumped storage hydro power is the future of energy storage, and Carl hopes for Northwestern Energy to invest in the future.
