RE: ADSactly Tech News - Will Solar Power Become the Dominant Power Source on Planet Earth Someday?
The really obvious problem is storage with solar power.
Solar is easy to set up and the efficiency goes up on the same sort of scale as the power of computer chips. Double every two years or something like that.
Realistically, right now, we depend on Lithium whose mining and processing isn't all that clean. We are effectively trading one problem for another.
The hydrogen cracking technology excites me. There are multiple problems to overcome with using Hydrogen as a fuel, but if it can be cracked out of water with sufficient ease that would allow local ambient temperature storage it would be amazing.
Thanks for a great article!
The darn storage problem continues to plague us and slow the adoption of solar power generation but we are making progress! Liquid hydrogen and methane can both be produced through harnessing the power of the sun's rays so there's hope yet! We will get there buddy, we're on our way! Thanks for dropping by and interacting as always.
