Energy density is only important in a few use cases since electric transmission is largely a solved problem and even in urban areas we currently have a lot of easily usable sun-facing surface area where panels can be installed.
- StreamBright 7y ago>> since electric transmission is largely a solved problem Really? I thought it requires a large investment that has a big impact on the environment which is an external cost to energy production and usually people do not care about it. Unless we are able to produce mass amounts of superconductive materials and deploy this solution to replace traditional infrastructure we have a wasteful way of transporting energy. http://insideenergy.org/2015/11/06/lost-in-transmission-how-much-electricity-disappears-between-a-power-plant-and-your-plug/ http://insideenergy.org/2015/11/06/lost-in-transmission-how-...
