Comment on Renewable Power Helped the United States Survive the Hottest Summer Ever
RealFknNito@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’ll keep it a buck with you, solar panels are more expensive relative to their energy output. I get solar and renewable energy is the dream for most but as someone unafraid of nuclear fission, the only dream for me is fusion. Widespread adoption and better batteries would make renewables better but from the information I’ve seen, nothing compares to nuclear power per kw/h. Not even all renewables combined on their best day.

And yet no one with money to invest in the energy sector is caring to put a dime into new nuclear. They looked at their options and picked the one that doesn’t have a long history of cost and schedule overruns.

And the overuse of materials for solar is going to drive up their price and repair costs but hey we’ll see

Which material do you think will be the limiting factor on photovoltaic production?
