Yes, Daniel, a few minutes of eclipse happening every couple years renders solar completely useless. Let's just keep burning the dead dinosaur juice.

    every couple years

    On average it takes about 375 years for an eclipse to happen again in the same spot so it'll be a while before the US loses solar energy from an eclipse.

    It will be a while until that particular strip of the US loses energy from a Total Solar Eclipse. There's no shortage of other eclipse events, and from the top of Alaska to the urethra of Florida is a looooong way.

    Not that I approve the use of dead dino juice, but in theory we can at least make more of that. Coal is done. Once we use it up, we cannot make more of the stuff, since it's what happened when the trees didn't have bacteria that could break them down. They damn near caused a climate crisis with their own corpses.
