We constantly hear about landowners fighting against solar - but at some point - some folks are gonna realize, we only need 1% of all land to power the world.

& If you don't act soon - you're gonna miss out on one of the greatest wealth generation opportunities of our lifetimes.

I suspect the cycle of upgrading rapidly advancing GPUs every couple of years will be a challenge for this model

Africa and other Emerging Markets... impact of energy abundance. What does this enable? Also - what innovations in solar are not now, but could become big in 5-10 years? (solar windows, solar mural coverings, solar cars... IDK, go crazy)

When does this make sense? "solar on a boat" has got to be generally more difficult than on land (ht @solarchase.bsky.social) I see the Bohai see has mean depth of only 60 feet and is somewhat calm, while Qinhuangdao is pretty mountainous. So maybe its cheaper than land here? What else?

Is the data available in table form anywhere?

How do the subsidies compare? I asked O3 to compare and it said basically fossils fuels get ~ $1.3/MWHR while renewables got $10-40 per mwhr. Is that remotely accurate? chatgpt.com/share/6852de...

In other words does Elmo’s famous“Idiot Index” suggest any areas of focus?

Theoretically, what difference would it make if all the hardware was priced at raw material cost (e.g. clamps and wires)? Is there room for improvement in standardization and mass production of those or other balance of system components? How many types of inverters do we need?

Neat! Is the magic something like "bedrock is close to surface so we can anchor directly without deep pilings" ?

How do they decide what to curtail? I thought gas and coal were supposed to be dispatchable. Can they not turn them off?
