>> [_] Anon 1569786 well, it's not the worst idea I've ever seen.
>> [_] Anon 1569810 Pretty standard solar-thermal generation. This one's just larger. The problem with it is the same as with any other current renewable energy technology : how to store the energy for when it's not there (IE night). Still, thanks for sharing, OP.
>> [_] Anon 1569826 >># during the night the nuclear plants could kick in/other ways of generating el that we have today. this is still nothing more than a theory dream though. just building something that huge will never happen
>> [_] 1569835 Lol, I love how they give it a spin that makes it seem like the thing being absolutely fuckhuge is somehow a positive thing.
>> [_] Anon 1569845 >># well if you have nuclear power plants in place then why do you need solar? Solar and nuclear do not mesh well with each other. Also they might be able to use thermal energy storage for something like this. But other than that, this system is fairly limited, it's thermodynamic conversion efficiency is pretty low, as solar cells get better this system will become outmoded.
>> [_] Anon 1569872 have excess energy used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen, then use the hydrogen for power at night.
>> [_] Emperor Sain 1569952 why future why you make no progress
>> [_] Anon 1569989 I chuckled when I saw this vid. See Armored Core 4 Missions Operation Ascension/Descent.
