A growing trend

Solar will soon surpass other means of generating electricity, as it is completely scalable, and batteries make it 24/7;

Last I checked, it takes Sunlight to make solar power.

Anybody that doubts solar at this point is just ignorant. Its growth is exponential, and if you're smart you'll find ways to invest. Your descendants will thank you. Who could possibly believe that extracting sun energy from fossil goo won't be outpaced by collecting sun energy directly from the source?

So many things can be powered by the sun. Battery storage will get better.

Good luck flying your solar powered private jet to Gstaad, for climate confabs with all the pretty people.

I have solar lights in the yard. They don’t last long. Secondly what happens to the batteries?

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Wasn't there some discussion recently about the toxicity of the solar components not being environmentally friendly???

I'm in the back 9 of my career now.

I've rode the green machine for nearly 4 decades.

PV is now the fastest growing sector of my field, so yanno you guys can argue up/down all you'd like....from a purely biz standpoint , it's a $$$ maker, if i had to do it over again i'd be a 'solar guy' in a cocaine heartbeat

I knew it was a pile of Bull Shit if it came from OLD FRAUD...

"Californians worried about an insecure energy future are increasingly looking to this kind of solution. Karin, a 31-year-old postdoctoral fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, spent just under $4,000 for his battery by taking advantage of tax credits. He's also saving money by discharging the battery on weekday evenings, when energy is more expensive."

The Two thing that "make it cheep" are FREE MONEY and Making sure other forms of energy are stupid expensive.... Its all smoke and mirrors... Its all bull shit!!

The beginning. As the batteries double in storage capacity, then double again, EV airplanes and airliners with displace the present jets.

It will not be long before we have photovoltaic cell that are over 50% efficient. Possibly even higher.

And how environmentally friendly is mining and refining the rare heavy metals required for the batteries?....How do you mitigate the environmental externality of disposing of played out batteries?

So we can safely assume that your answer is a big NO!


You're just another virtue signaling ideologue, who really doesn't give a flying fuck about the environment.

BTW, jackass, the inventors at SkyWalk haven't even been able perfect a battery powered paramotor harness....The notion that we're anywhere near passenger aircraft powered by your unicorn farts and pixie piss can't even register as an LSD induced fantasy.

No more practical than the aforementioned battery powered paramotor harness....Rutan flew around the world nonstop, and that hasn't led to anything workable either.
