Comment on Solar and wind energy could fulfill energy demand 10-fold, Oxford study finds
Psaldorn@lemmy.world 1 year agoWouldn’t the dust in the atmosphere also prevent energy transmission just as it does solar?
Wind, still works

You’d use frequencies that can penetrate cloud cover in that case, it wouldn’t work otherwise because then it would still be subject to weather.

I don’t know for sure but it’s particulates that make it a nuclear winter, not just cloud (water) but would also need to penetrate the clouds as well.
It’s probably not wise for me to Google “what frequencies of EM can penetrate a nuclear winter clouds” though 🙂

That’s actually a pretty good point and I don’t know how it would work either. It would definitely interfere with the signal to some extent.
