The sun is always shining somewhere and the wind is always blowing somewhere.
We should be investing in better transmission systems and grid interconnects. Doing this will enable places that momentarily have more solar and wind than they need to sell that energy to their neighbours. Add vehicle to grid and a lot of the intermittency problems are eminently soluble.
- remram 5y agoYou want to transmit power from the other side of the world?
- kwhitefoot 5y agoNot necessarily. Just from three hours away would probably do with a little bit of storage.
- remram 5y agoNot for solar close to the equator, and definitely not for solar farther from the equator.
