    True, but:

    • Most of the world is actually quite sunny
    • High-voltage electrical grid can carry power for thousands of kilometers if needed. Granted, there is some loss of power and maintenance overhead, but at the current rate, economics can still go in favor of this option.

      Yeah I hope for Europe they just do some big farms in Spain and Morroco and make a really good grid for the rest of Europe.
