This looks like it has about 100x higher power density than what solar PV gives at peak. Combine that with 100% uptime and deployment pretty much anywhere, that

This looks like it has about 100x higher power density than what solar PV gives at peak. Combine that with 100% uptime and deployment pretty much anywhere, that are some pretty compelling advantages.
- hedora 3y agoHow could that possibly be the case? The current best commercially-available solar panels are 20% efficient. Last-gen stuff is 10-15%.
- jjk166 3y agoWell if you put those solar panels right up against the sun, they'd be much more power dense. But for the moment building a nuclear reactor on earth is a significantly easier engineering challenge than building a solar plant on the sun.
