It's definitely cool. I see the power and usefulness. God knows I'm a fan of getting off coal crack, but until this is ready, we need to do something. Perhaps the whole world can't switch to solar and wind right away, but a lot of people could switch right now, and of course that funds more people switching. It's mostly grid tie now, but the cost of batteries is dropping big time, and as ev's go through the roof, which is already a done deal, battery tech will improve and those costs will drop dramatically. I really get fusion as a large scale solution, but I don't see the wisdom in dismissing solar when it's growing like wildfire, exceeding all expectations every year for 20 years and incredibly helpful in lowering troublesome emissions right now.

There is no question to dismiss solar energy or other such clean energy sources. What is the problem in having many clean energy sources
I don't have any issue with it at all. I'd like anything sustainable with minimal negative impact to be going strong. When you said that solar requires too much infrastructure, it sounded dismissive. Perhaps I misread? I work in solar, and we encounter so many misconceptions. Perhaps I am overly sensitive? 😂 Wouldn't be the first time.
