[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Moving batteries seems like a terribly inefficient way of replacing power lines. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Touching_Grass@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago Power lines would still mean we need energy on demand though wouldn't it. And if we can transport energy from an area like a huge solar array in the Sahara to Kazakhstan or China it would be better. I was just raising it as an off thought like maybe theres more ways to think about solving this problem than just building plants. What level of storage ability could we have that would let us build a large solar array in the Sahara to power Africa and Europe vs just building more plants. I think our end goal will be energy storage and like you brought up transport/transmission. I think that because I think we have energy production pretty well solved permalink fedilink source parent
