(Addendum: Of course, that doesn't deal with the problem of energy storage; it's just an example of what'd be possible with one renewable alone.)

Yeah ideally you distribute it around the world while increasing transmission efficiency.

HDVC lines, about 3.5% loss per 1,000 km, still half lost halfway around the world.

pumped-storage hydropower is the most efficient large-scale method for storing energy at 70–85% efficiency.

That requires a lot of space (and water) ofcourse.


More jobs :)
