Unreliable. First, it works half the day on average over a year and is low input mornings and afternoons. Second, it can only work at night with storage. Next, these farms are huge and to do as much as half the energy we will need, will necessarily cover hundreds of square miles. So, where will they be built? Certainly not in the cities that consume the electricity. Nor will they cover government lands, mountains, oil fields, mines, subdivisions, so where? Where else? Millions upon millions of acres of farm and ranch land, the very breadbasket of the nation. So, I guess we won't starve in the dark at least, just starve. Fourth. By covering acres upon acres, we reduce the ability of vegetation to generate oxygen and consume CO2. So, we actually would create more CO2 with solar panels than we would as open spaces. Storage would consume all the resources 10x over what we need today.
