Reply #31: That is an absurd "if"

You wrote, "If we supersize your setup to utility scale, it will require us to burn enough diesel fuel to provide 50% of the energy for people with PVC panels. But even worse (and unlike nuclear) solar has no significant economy of scale after 10kW. Which means anyone who didn't have their own solar array would still have to get their power from conventional sources. For most of the country that's about 50% coal.".

That "If" has no relationship to reality at all.

It is like proposing what our transportation system would look like IF we scaled up your car that runs on golf cart batteries.
