- JasonFruit 8y agoThe article focuses on a small-scale approach that has its own challenges but is different from what your document discusses.
- virmundi 8y agoRight. I thought it would be interesting to see it there were experimental findings on a large scale. For example put a massive solar array in the US SW. Transport the power across the country and store excess in geologically stable areas. Those storage facilities then act as power plants at night or if there were delays in sunlight.
