Turns out we're also mobilizing massively with electricity storage technology, in the form of electric vehicles, so that baseload power requirement should be less of an issue in the future.
Density doesn't make sense to me as a long-term objection, either. Unlike other power generation technologies, solar installation cost scales relatively linearly with power generation. Nobody runs backyard coal plants, but rooftop solar is viable. There is plenty of room for solar panels!
- StreamBright 6y ago>> so that baseload power requirement should be less of an issue in the future. An average energy load graph begs to differ. Solar is great for peak demand. Unless you can make cars to be able to charge at once at peak it is not going to work. >> Density doesn't make sense to me So how much % of land would you sacrifice for solar? And how often do you think we have to redo the work? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82042-5 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82042-5 https://greencoast.org/solar-panel-lifespan/ https://greencoast.org/solar-panel-lifespan/
