Eric,
You incredibly don't understand how much power can be created today with PV's.
Promises promises. I've been hearing this all of my life. We can power the whole world just by capturing 1% of sunlight that hits dry land.

Do you know how expensive that is? And it doesn't come for free, either. Millions of square miles of solar panels can't simply be left alone. They have to be regularly washed. They have to be monitored for environmental damage. And they all have to be wired together.

That's easy to do when it's your own rooftop (which of course magically captures sunlight not only from the sky, but also from reflections off a nearby body of water). But the magnitude of scaling just doesn't work out.
I've done many. Up to 100 kw.
I'm sure you have.

On the Internet, everyone is an "expert."

I gave my opinion from my own POV. I'm no virgin at being wrong, but I can also smell intellectual B.S..
