Not that 100% solar is ideal by any means. &#xA;Like we have had the battery technology for a thousand years it&#39;s not that complicated. &#xA;We literally had the technology to store the energy before we even had electricity. &#xA;It&#39;s called a mechanical battery. &#xA;It&#39;s how all the clock towers worked before electricity. &#xA;You wind up a gear to lift a weight. &#xA;Gravity brings the weight back down. &#xA;&#xA;Replace humans winding the gears up with electric motors powered by solar. &#xA;It&#39;s that simple. &#xA;&#xA;But like I said, 100% solar is not ideal. &#xA;With wave generators we could have baseload power 24/7 at a fraction of the cost of solar, wind, coal, gas, or anything else. &#xA;&#xA;But because wave generators only take a small amount of concrete and copper to build the corporations lobby against them. &#xA;It&#39;s too efficient, too decentralised, too cheap. &#xA;Wave generators are literally just a concrete box with hinged flaps that open and shut when water moves through them. &#xA;&#xA; &#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
