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?
In: Physics
Batteries are heavy. I think you miss the scale of things at work here. You might be able to chargee car and house with a battery thats the size of a smal shed and you need to rechatge that every day.
So a cargo ship of batteries per street or village per day would be my rough estimate.
You can compare that with an oil tanker, thats full of oil that you can burn to generate energy too. Even thats not woth it for electricity production.
