I mean going by the American attempts in Nevada that's a very efficient method of making boilers on sticks explode and a limitless supply of cooked migratory birds but has difficulties in consistent power generation compared to solid state devices.

Spain seem to be having better luck. There's also the parabolic trough method if you don't like boilers on sticks.

The nice thing about pointing a ton of mirrors at a containment vessel is you can use it for more than just boiling water, you can heat salt up with it which then boils water elsewhere, which is a lot more controllable, or you can use it to heat up any reaction that requires a large source of heat, like the Haber process.

Covering the Sahara with solar panels would kill the South American rainforests.

Just a head up there. Kind of funny

Nobody's talking about covering the entire thing from Nouakchott to Port Sudan with panels. You'd only need a few 10s of square kms just south of the African Mediterranean coast to have some serious power output, whether that was electrical or as a source of fertilizer or fuel or whatever.

I'm sure Spain would put up giant chickenwire fences like they did at Ceuta and Melilla.

but solar panels aren't made of water either.

You can make them out of saplings and water if you have a well managed system.

Everyone goes for the garbage unmanaged systems though.

Seriously? Please PM about this, genuinely tres interested.

Trees. There was supposed to be a massive thing where Scandinavia would move to managed forests capable of switching masses of coal power facilities to pelletized biomass, effectively making them carbon neutral solar power facilities, with the trees themselves as the energy storage.

What actually happened was that a lot of them went with cheap US biomass which was made by ruining old growth forests in the South.

It's pretty old rhyming slang.

New thread is up right here.
