- qsdf38100 3y agoWe need orders of magnitude more storage to go full solar, or wind. Currently it’s hard for electric network management to integrate even 10% of intermittent energy sources into the mix.
- bytefactory 3y agoI'm finding it hard to find a source for what the current available global capacity is. 1/2.85 TW sounds amazing, would you happen to have a source?
- mortureb 3y agoI asked chatGPT so it may be incorrect
- bytefactory 3y agoHah, fair enough.

- bytefactory 3y agoSo in about 7-8 years, Solar could theoretically have enough capacity to meet the needs of the world?! That's staggering, and incredible news if true!
