It also seems to me that the conjunction of solar for collection of energy and hydrogen for storage will be THE solution. Use solar to split hydrogen from water and you have the perfect clean collection/storage solution. Of course there is still the problem of transporting hydrogen but I seem to remember some recent developments in that area.
