To be honest I think she has a fair point. There’s way more solar potential in California than in the rest of the world in general. In Germany as example during winter you get 4-5hours of sun. And that’s still ignoring that the highest energy needs take place when the sun goes down again. As long we don’t have way better storage capabilities using solar alone is fairy tale… Doing the math with wind makes it way better already. That’s why gas is valuable right now. Compared to nuclear you can fire up the gas plant whenever you want while nuclear would have to run 24/7 effectively creating energy that is worthless during half the day…

@@kylejohnhaley Yes, nuclear power plants operate non-stop. That's why they're ideal to cover the base load (the energy you constantly need), and hydro and solar/wind are ideal to manage the peaks of energy needs. Hydro especially is great as a natural storage system, cause you can pump the water up when you have energy surplus, and then release it when you need it (whoever tells you you can store energy for an entire country by using batteries is either delusional or malevolent). It gets really problematic when you don't have a reliable source of energy to cover the base load. Renewables are intermittent: if sun is not shining and wind is not blowing, how will you produce energy? I'll tell you how: by burning gas or coal.

Finally someone else who sees reason. I can’t believe so few people have realised that Elon is flat out lying in this video. 80% of the claims he makes are objectively false. He claims we could power the US with 150-200 square km of solar. Wrong. Current estimates suggest the number is closer to 80,000 square km. And still, these panels will only generate power 24% of the time. They’re highly intermittent, so need a reliable base load backup. This brings me to another of his points: that a solar farm with equal land area of a nuclear plant will produce more power than the nuclear plant. This is just outright delusional. Anyone with any amount of knowledge on nuclear and solar should see through this lie immediately. Nuclear actually requires 75 times less land than an equal output solar farm, and that nuclear plant operates at a capacity factor of 94% as opposed to solars 24%. Its like he got the words solar and nuclear mixed up, because everything he says is basically the opposite of the truth.

The efficiency of solar panels is quite low at the moment ranging from 15-20%. It means less energy is generated with a large capacity and this might waste land use. That is why it pays people who can personally use it on roof tops. Most companies would rather invest in wind and other sources. With advancement in technology, solar energy would become more adopted and cheaper. Another issue is the battery, batteries are quite expensive at the moment and have little capacity. It would only get better with technology and adoption.

If this were true, power generation companies would have switched a long time ago because the run and maintain cost of solar is much less than a nuclear reactor. Unfortunately it is not at all true. A nuclear reactor can generate multiple megawatts of electricity which would require many many square miles of solar panels to replicate plus you would have to double it because a nuclear reactor runs at night, then double it again because a nuclear reactor runs during cloudy days.

A typical GW NPP in the United States needs a little more than 1 square mile to operate. Today's most efficient solar panels have about 42% efficiency which can produce about 420 watt per square meter. This is 420 MW per square kilometer. Multiply by 5 hours, that's 2.1 GW per square kilometers per day. There are 2.59 square km per square mile, so that's 5.44 GW per square mile per day. That is much less than 24 GW for a NPP per day but I'd much rather live close to a solar facility than a NPP. Edit: There are apparently solar cells that exceed 130% efficiency. He is right. I'm not surprised.

@@CoffeeCartel666 All you need to do is imagine a shady winter month. How are you going to generate electricity when there's no sun? Sure, you could store electricity from the summer and ration it out during winter, but the amount of batteries it would take is literal insanity. Now we're not even considering maintenance and environmental impact of producing all the panels and batteries about every 7-12 years. With current technology, his idea is garbage. Maybe in the not too far future when we have better batteries, but solar panels are still not ever going to be adequate as a single power source. Nuclear is literally and indisputably the best option. Edited (at 78 likes): I take back "solar panels aren't ever going to be adequate as a single power source" because I don't know what the future holds. If we could somehow get the panels themselves closer to the sun (not using land area on earth) and magically transfer the energy to earth (I guess wirelessly?!), then yes we could use only solar, but that's science fiction as of 2022 and I highly doubt it would ever become possible. The energy transferred from the sun to the earth's surface is only so much and varies greatly. As for nuclear, it's our best option TODAY. I have no idea about future technology.

@@rorschacht8478 Well we would need to store energy also for the evening and night, so even in summer this would not work that well. With that said, I believe there could be a method to store huge amounts of energy without using batteries. Since space isn't really a problem here, we could use massive rocks as batteries, this can be done by using the excess energy produced during the day to lift those rocks, so energy would be stored in the form of "potential gravitational energy". There are already companies doing this and to me it makes a lot of sense when trying to store such huge amounts of energy. Anyway there are other problems, like the effect that solar panels would have on the climate of the region (since we need >200km^2), not sure how much it would effect it but I know it is a thing.

Straight out of the gate this is just blatantly false. Current estimates suggest you’d need between 35,000 and 57,000 square km of solar to supposedly meet 100% of US energy needs. However this says nothing for grid stability and off peak power supply which make this prospect basically impossible. Solar has a maximum capacity factor of only 24% (and with many arrays that number is only 10-15%), meaning on average it generates power only 24% of the time, and last I checked we need power 100% of the time, with a large amount of that at night when the sun never shines. Nuclear, on the other hand has the highest capacity factor of all methods at 93.5% making it the most reliable method of energy production by a large margin. Nuclear, despite what Elon inanely claims in this video, requires at least 75 times *less* land than solar to produce the same amount of power (and that power is much more reliable and efficient). The “tidbit” he gives claiming solar panels covering an equal area of a nuclear plant would produce more than the nuclear plant is just a flat out lie and honestly I’ve never seen a claim so ridiculous in all my time researching this matter. 80% of his claims in this video are objectively false and I hate that this misinformation is being shared around by “tech” KZitem pages as if Elon is going to save the world with 100% solar. It’s just blatant and dangerous misinformation.

The problem as I see it is moving that energy to everywhere it’s needed from a centralized location entails power loss, so the hard part is designing an optimized grid we can maintain that minimizes power loss and distance traveled to disperse the energy intelligently, and designing, building that will be expensive, and very contentious politically.

The problem is you need to generate and then store a huge amount of extra energy for night time and low solar output. The amount of batteries needed would be staggering.

I mean they can make an energy storage device to install in each home or structure that requires electricity and in the day time those personal energy circuits will charge up while the rest of it is being used and we can use it at night too...
