Figure 1 Wind turbines may generate electricity when the electricity is not needed. Two methods that can be used to store the energy from the turbine are: Method A: Heating water to a high temperature. Method B: — Pumping water uphill into a reservoir. {o[1].[4] Which energy store increases when water is heated?
