Not that 100% solar is ideal by any means. \nLike we have had the battery technology for a thousand years it's not that complicated. \nWe literally had the technology to store the energy before we even had electricity. \nIt's called a mechanical battery. \nIt's how all the clock towers worked before electricity. \nYou wind up a gear to lift a weight. \nGravity brings the weight back down. \n\nReplace humans winding the gears up with electric motors powered by solar. \nIt's that simple. \n\nBut like I said, 100% solar is not ideal. \nWith wave generators we could have baseload power 24/7 at a fraction of the cost of solar, wind, coal, gas, or anything else. \n\nBut because wave generators only take a small amount of concrete and copper to build the corporations lobby against them. \nIt's too efficient, too decentralised, too cheap. \nWave generators are literally just a concrete box with hinged flaps that open and shut when water moves through them. \n\n \n\n"}
