If perovskite solar module lasts 10 years, but is more than twice as efficient - it'll be financially viable to repower & recycle the modules every 10 years. We could print perovskites roll to roll & then roll modules onto solar racking. Probably cuts re-install time immensely.

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with just 5 hrs of storage (24 GW / 120 GWh) Results: last week: 100% RE last 124 weeks: 99.0% RE (1/4)

Redditor “Running the fridge and heater…16hrs and only down 8%, got 3 more days of reserve.” When people realize an emergency panel plus a car can easily mean multiple days of electricity, it’ll be a required feature. US Military should fund it.

In 1903 the New York Times predicted that it would take humans 1 to 10 million years to perfect a flying machine. The Wright Brothers did it 69 days later. Don’t listen to those who know nothing but the sound of their own voice.

Seen lots of headlines suggesting we will see "massive" electricity load growth from utilities. In 2023, electricity demand dropped. It has been roughly flat since 2007 in the USA. Historically, utilities have predicted load growth forever - and they've been wrong a lot.

The US will break through 10% of its electricity coming from solar in 2026. The nation broke through 1% in 2016. That's a factor of 10 growth in a decade.

We could cover 100% of US electricity demand, including full transportation electrification, by using solar on ethanol fields which only cover 10% of transportation.

In terms of energy/land, solar is ridiculously more efficient than ethanol. You get 20-30X the energy per acre. Combine that with an EV which is 3X as efficient as an ICE vehicle, and you can go 60-90X the distance. .
