> 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.
