More than 10 years back I did an intern on sustainable energy (mostly wind turbines).
With every cell in my body I would wish that it would be the the best solution, but it's simply isn't.
I really have to dig deep into my memory, but I have seen a lecture about a guy who calculated on a practical way (so not with best figures) how to sustain ONLY the Netherlands with enough energy.
In the end you would need a country as big as the UK or NZ completely full of these noisy (!!!) rotating bastards.
If I recall well, solar power is even worse.
It makes me sad, because I would wish the laws of physic would be different at some particular moments.
Unfortunately, it's not, and the same is for these solar roads again (the idea is awesome
).
Maybe a bit depressing, but I always come to the same conclusion, just put a limit on the population.
Or otherwise it will conflict in some way with the any law/rule of physics I can come up with.
