Never mind how you can make all those solar cells cheaply enough and long lasting enough to be practical, I want to know how you plan to store that energy so you can use it at night and on cloudy days. I want to know how you're going to economically convert DC to AC. I want to know how you're going to get the power from the desert where nobody lives to the city thousands of miles away where 30 million people live. I want to know how you're going to shut up the environmentalists when they start screaming bloody murder about paving over a area of pristine desert the size of New Jersey with solar cells. And I want to know what you're going to say to environmentalists when they notice that solar cells are black and only convert about 12% of the sunlight into electricity with the rest turning into heat which will transform that area in the desert the size of New Jersey into the hottest place on the surface of the Earth. The hottest by far! John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
