Why can’t we just use batteries?

1.07K viewsOtherPhysics

I often see posted about how covering a relatively small area in a desert with solar panels could power the world – but transferring that energy is too difficult. Why can’t we just use that to charge batteries and ship them places/ everywhere?

Tranfer that energy is not difficult, just expensive. The world works with money and moving around solar energy TODAY is more expensive than a thermal power station using coal for example. Because of infraestructure, logistics and so on. Moving a battery would be even more expensive because of reasons other people already said here.
