![The GLIDES approach has the potential to change the way energy is stored. The GLIDES approach has the potential to change the way energy is stored.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/01%20-%20glides%20tip.jpg?itok=feaio682)
The gap between electricity generation and use could be narrowed with an Oak Ridge National Laboratory system that extracts energy from thin air. Actually, Ground-Level Integrated Diverse Energy Storage, or GLIDES, stores electricity mechanically in the form of compressed gas that disp...
