    If only a source of power was stronger with sunlight… Maybe like solar, it would be perfect for this.

    Actually, that sounds like a crazy idea. Surely they’d have found a way to do this if it was possible…

    • Surprisingly, over 50% of energy production right now (like this minute, not a long-term average) in Texas is Solar+Wind. Nuclear is another 6%. Still means we should at least double solar+wind production, but I think storage is something that’s quite lacking currently, so as the sun set, fossil fuel use spikes up (wind is still like 40% of the power at night though).
