‘Limitless’ energy: how floating solar panels near the equator could power future population hotspots::New research shows densely populated countries in Southeast Asia and West Africa could harvest effectively unlimited energy from solar panels floating on calm tropical seas near the equator.
I don’t think anyone arguing for nuclear power is arguing against other forms of renewable energy. But that base power is super important and right now it is primarily created through carbon-producing sources.
You can go fully hydro/wind/solar but if you’re still borrowing from the neighbor’s coal plant at peak times it’s not exactly clean power.
