Can you think of a reason why storing energy is not ideal for a solar power plant?
Choose from the choices below:
Because the solar power plant is located in a desert, far from large bodies of water.
Potential energy is not as good as electrical energy.
Moving water around is not storing energy.
Because it is a solar power plant and not a water power plant.
