You can create hydrogen for use as vehicle fuel or to be used when the grid needs more power. Why not use the excess to create hydrogen using electrolysis?

Why don't reporters ask these basic questions? I don’t see any efficiency numbers for injecting compressed air and then recapturing the energy at a later point in time.
