Is it likely that we'll ever get cheap near disposable PV tiles to slap on everything and everywhere? I'd imagine if you could buy PV like paper it would provide tons of energy to just about everything when combined with dense battery tech.

I did a thought experiment calculation once using specific heats and other retard poo poo that its actually efficient to build a nuclear reactor or two and use the energy to melt granite and extract uranium from it to build more reactors.

In my mind I had a conveyor belt going from the Rocky mountains to a sarlaac pit powered by a nuclear reactor that spat out magical uranium beans.
