I’m convinced you don’t understand my words. Is English your second language? 136km is less than 16000km soo all the panels would fit there. That was my point?

I’m convinced you don’t understand my words. Is English your second language? 136km is less than 16000km soo all the panels would fit there. That was my point???? The Australian one is spaced out because they have so much land they don’t care. So I still don’t get your point. I think you are the one off by orders of magnitude, because you are confusing panel capacity with generation. Just to double check that, do you agree a single 400w panel generates conservatively 1800w/day ? Yes we have installed enough panels to power the whole world many times over. But they aren’t connected… again that is my point. There are HVDC cables in use all over the place. That tech is very much process out. Do you get what a 3GW line can do? It can deliver 72GWh in a day. EDIT I’ve realised rather belatedly you are just a troll. Apologise for the overfeed.

> I’m convinced you don’t understand my words. Is English your second language? It is, but it's not a language problem here… The problem is that all you write is nonsense! For instance: > The Australian one is spaced out because they have so much land they don’t care. Like the I know the real estate in the Australian desert must be cheap, but why spend a HUNDRED TIME too much money on real estate just because it's cheap? You think the project financiers are completely dumb? Why can't you even imagine that your calculation is broken? > Just to double check that, do you agree a single 400w panel generates conservatively 1800w/day ? Come on. I don't know if I should laugh or sigh at this point. > Yes we have installed enough panels to power the whole world many times over. But they aren’t connected… again that is my point. Is there a sentience life behind this account or is it a markov chain language model? If there is, please take a big breath and think about what you just wrote. Seriously. > Do you get what a 3GW line can do? It can deliver 72GWh in a day. 7.2⋅10¹⁰Wh/day, compared to the 8⋅10¹³Wh/day that the humanity consumes. That's 3 orders of magnitude off, that's how much you'd need to scale it up. Scale ISS by 3 orders of magnitude and you have a spaceship that's 5 times bigger than a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, to keep the space colonization analogy. Scale the (provisional) budget required by this project by 3 orders of magnitude, and you get one year worth of US GDP. That's how non-trivial this is. You should try and learn to manipulate orders of magnitudes, because that's a skill you're lacking and it really shows. The scales involved in such a discussion are so big you cannot rely on your intuitive sense of scale.
