By Jason Crawford| The Roots of Progress@ Previously: Solutionism, part 1 and part 2. Part of The Techno-Humanist Manifesto. Progress solves problems, but creates new ones.

Naively, you might think that to turn this into a highly-available power source, you just need to have 4x the solar panels, plus enough batteries to store 75% of a day’s worth of power. E.g., for each continuous megawatt you want to supply, you need 4 MW of solar panels, and 18 MWh of batteries. During the day, you supply 1 MW from the panels and use the other 3 MW to charge the batteries.
