Another myth debunked. This Electric Viking YouTube video under 10 minutes. “Quote from video starting at about the 8:06. “Now, here is what Climate Energy Finance said about this study. Batteries on wheels – electric vehicles – should be viewed as one of the most important enablers of the full decarbonization of the global energy

Well, Elon never said it was a plan. He just calculated that there are about 750 watts per square meter at the latitude of the middle of the US. The solar panels are about 20% efficient. So 1/5 of 750 is 150. The US needs about 1300 gigawatts of power. So divide that by 150

30 Gigawatts! They say that that’s enough to power 18 million Indian homes. This will most likely be the biggest project in the world – for quite some time. It takes about 3 million solar panels per gigawatt, so if half the 30 GW is solar, that’s 45 million solar panels. The other 15GW would

It’s 875 MW solar and 3 GWh of energy storage. The 4600 acre site with nearly 2 million solar panels is not far from Edwards AFB, California. Largest US solar-storage project goes online

Badger Hollow Solar is 3500 acres, 830,000 bifacials on trackers and 300 MW, built in two phases. The second phase just came online. Wisconsin is expected to add 3.78 GW solar over the next 5 years. Wisconsin’s largest solar farm is now fully online
Elon Musk talks about generating enough power from a solar farm 100 miles by 100 miles, plus batteries to power during darkness. https://youtube.com/shorts/IuYtaThlpcQ?si=ElLtxnwUutVRbF_O

I like getting in a car that’s not roasting hot. One thing the companies and organizations are doing is installing solar canopies in parking lots. It’s what Tesla did in the lot over the row of superchargers at Gigafactory Texas. And those canopies give cars shade. There are millions of acres / ares of parking
