    Well, we could also stop adding a certain percentage of biofuel to our cars. The land that we gain from that, if covered by solar panels, would produce enough energy to cover all our energy demand.

      Also a great idea. One of the things I think is good about putting it everywhere, though, is that it cuts transmission requirements+losses and increases resilience by having the generation be localised.

        Eh, we’ve done pretty well with transmitting power. So although I do agree that spreading the load is always better, it should not be compromising the costs. As putting it “everywhere” also comes with some downsides.
