Yup we need more electric cars

@GeniUs Why is UK trying to block out the sun?

@MrBrownstone Had to look this up, on the face of it it is supposedly an attempt to prevent global warming. My opinion... I think 'vanity project' is being very generous and 'corrupt appropriation of funding with no real return' has a better ring to it.
I hope I don't get arrested for that comment, the UK is suddenly like cold war Soviet Union with it's insane policing at the moment.

@GeniUs None of my friends have 'disappeared, from the streets for dissenting political views, I know of no 'gulags'. I am unaware of an autocratic 'leader' who has maintained power, I am unaware of supermarket shelves devoid of any items and certainly not basics. Which UK are you living in? Or was the Soviet Union more liberal than I thought? You wont be arrested for just expressing a view, unless you incite violence against others.

@GeniUs Here's a good look at US solar reliability as it rarely happens wind and hail storm. Imagine the replacement costs.

@Gibbon There have to be areas that aren't susceptible to this...wait I'm getting a big idea...if solar panels aren't really a thing in the US yet for residential homes...

@GeniUs They are all over the place on individual homes and lots. Those pics are large energy supply fields. A large are in Texas had their entire power shut down from that destruction. The point is mother nature can easily wipe out solar.

@Gibbon It can but just be careful where you put them. You wouldn't put a nuclear powerplant on a fault line so don't put solar panels in Kansas or wherever the storms are bad.

@GeniUs LOL It doesn't work that way hail storms can appear almost anywhere. Even the areas that don't get hail like the high Rockies or especially desert areas are susceptible to occasional monsoon type storms with high winds. There's also tornadoes that can pop up in even the least expected areas.
Plus you can't power the entire country from one select area. AND solar has a life span. Just like the batteries in an EV long term maintenance is unsustainable.

@Gibbon Well going for it big style in the much smaller UK I'm sure this would work somewhere out there. I mean there's Death Valley, that's worth exploiting surely.

@GeniUs I believe this is the best current tech to solve everyone's energy problems.
Molten-salt reactors.
