> Solar 27% capacity factor is BS, that isn't possible. I often gripe about people using the word nuclear to describe exclusively fission, which is regrettable for those of us keen on encouraging research in fusion. The use of the word 'solar' to describe exclusively PVCs is comparably regrettable. Solar thermal is pretty much guaranteed to trump PVCs at the moment, albeit at a higher capex.
