The idea that the world can be powered by a small area of solar panels and batteries has been a major cause of today’s global energy crisis. The world artificially restricted fossil fuel supply because smart people like @elonmusk told us we could use solar + batteries instead. — PolitiTweet.org

Summary: While we are told that the world can be powered by a small area of solar panels + batteries, the storage costs involved are impossibly high (hundreds of $trillions) and the panels involved would take up more area than all the world’s cities, towns, and villages combined. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk has dramatically improved his energy rhetoric over the last year, acknowledging the need for oil and gas and walking back his past climate catastrophism. But he and others need to stop spreading the deadly idea that solar+batteries can power the world. https://t.co/fivOPtscNd — PolitiTweet.org
