Any system that works we should use, and system this is too slow to build or is unperfectable for the marketplace should remain as a lab curiosity. One thing that jacks up price is imminent danger. For smokers, air pollution was a big, unknown, threat to health, that never got factored in, because the was in flavor country. "I'd walk a mile for a Camel." Like a coal miner getting black lung, when, if you didn't like smoking a miner lived a lot longer. So, yeah to solar be it rooftop or Agrovolttics. Batteries are roaring along technically. This is for purely, practical, long term human survival, and not because Gaia approves! The MSR thing has always been tempting for me because 1000's of years of solid electricity. Having said that, like fusion, its got to also creep out of the lab. I am very big with wind power at sea, which will start appearing along the US East Coast soon, as it has already proven a success north of Scotland. A possible dark horse live save would be the development of deep, hot rock, geothermal, now made accessible by technology. lhttps://news.mit.edu/2022/quaise-energy-geothermal-0628 We'd be Quazy not to twy it! However, I must ask, does it cause earthquakes?

This has the advantage of shading your car too. Brent On 7/2/2022 11:39 AM, Lawrence Crowell wrote: We can place solar collectors above already built land. A mall or Wal Mart or the rest has photosynthetic dead area anyway.

Michelle Manion, the vice president of policy and advocacy for Mass Audubon (which is not affiliated with the National Audubon Society), said that while her organization supported renewable energy, including solar within farming operations, “we want to maximize the placement of ground-mounted solar on some of our lands that are the least ecologically sensitive first.” And there are general concerns that even with dual-use solar panels, arable land may be lost, though BlueWave says that the land can be reverted to pure agriculture uses once the solar leases — typically 20 to 30 years — expire."
