. Do me a favor and look at the big chart that is the top comment in the comet thread and see how much of our energy needs are currently met by oil, coal and natural gas and see that 16% of our energy needs are met by a combination of all renewables. While I agree that we do need to continue investing more in renewables. There is only so much sunshine in a day and it isn’t sunny everyday and it isn’t sunny everywhere. We do not have the transmission technology to pipe electricity across continents feasibly. There’s certainly enough Sunshine at the equator. Good luck getting it beyond 30° north or south. The other issue is storage pumped. Hydro isn’t an option in most places because there isn’t enough water or natural reservoirs available to fill. So please elaborate on your battery storage solution for your solar mega farms and how you’re going to distribute that energy feasibly worldwide.
