I got 24/7 electricity from solar panels and I don't have the kind of money that the government does to build infrastructure so I'm pretty damn sure the government could, especially here in Australia. Not that 100% solar is ideal by any means.
Like we have had the battery technology for a thousand years it's not that complicated.
We literally had the technology to store the energy before we even had electricity.
It's called a mechanical battery.
It's how all the clock towers worked before electricity.
You wind up a gear to lift a weight.
Gravity brings the weight back down.
Replace humans winding the gears up with electric motors powered by solar.
It's that simple.
But like I said, 100% solar is not ideal.
With wave generators we could have baseload power 24/7 at a fraction of the cost of solar, wind, coal, gas, or anything else.
But because wave generators only take a small amount of concrete and copper to build the corporations lobby against them.
It's too efficient, too decentralised, too cheap.
Wave generators are literally just a concrete box with hinged flaps that open and shut when water moves through them.
