Or skip the boats and just have the panels traverse to ocean and have a floating
bridge to China. Gotta think big, vehicles driving on solar panels makes sense, so why not vehicles driving on floating solar panels? Imagine the energy generated.

1% better everyday

Not sure the energy generated would be more than what’s required

Batteries are way too expensive. Put them on roofs in CA / AZ. Offset AC.

You wouldn't absolutely need batteries. I imagine there might be a way to run a really long power cable through the..

Also it could affect the oceanic ecosystems

Yeah but aren't there a lot of scientist saying that ocean warming is an issue?

What I am talking about has nothing to do with temp.

Ditch the boats, run a cord

Or just go all in on SMRs. Use the excess power for desalination and hydrogen generation

Sounds about as cheap as just burning coal that literally all of Wyoming sits on

Coal would be cheaper

Solar has an incredibly high area per megawatt ratio. Easier to do on land.

I wonder if they could instead create turbines that turned with ocean waves.
