I’m wondering, too. I haven’t looked into the topic for some time, e.g. back when Solar 2 was being set up. At the time I had calculated that an efficient heliostat could scale down to the amount of power that four homes would use. And that was when I started thinking of forming a solar power coalition with my 3 closest neighbors. Of course we’d need a place to put the heliostat. So we’d need to raize the home on a fifth property. And of course we’d need gardens, sized for sustainable agriculture. Going from Jeavon’s How To Grow More Food, my property would have enough space for me, but I would need more for my partner. Assuming 2 of similarly sized properties for each of the above would be 8, plus one for the heliostat equals 9 properties, which is pretty much the whole block. Of course the HOA was going to have issues with that, so we had to take them over their properties as well. That was ages ago, and so now we’re realizing the need for additional power to run a moderate sized Data Center, and there IS that ridge to the North, which would be good placement for some discretely placed Wind Turbines… lol
“Wonton desires”, you say?


Transparency from 86/47? Yes, please!! And now.


The black egg is a preserved, maybe duck, egg, and they are quite yummy.


Do you mean something like the Mojave Solar Project, which has produced 5.1 million MegaWatt hours since 2015?

Or do you mean something like a smaller scale, e.g. home use? Look up Parabolic Solar Collector.
Or are you thinking of an Heliostat? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliostat Something like the Solar Two, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliostat#/media/File:Solar_two.jpg


As said previously, purchase locally. And also don’t consider spraying this into the tailpipe of an ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicle.


First a Dyson Ring; have you read any of the Ringworld series by David Niven? And for the time being solar panels, solar architecture, cardboard solar fucking ovens, solar deathray from a satellite dish, etc, etc, etc…


Turns out we already have fusion power, it’s just been placed safely 149.6 million km away. The solution to energy independence comes up every morning.


Well that sucks!

I want to uptoot this so hard!

Funny how GOP presidents are always bad for the economy, and in obvious ways. This one’s just even more extreme, and so of course it’s worse.
This is, perhaps, the greatest of 86/47’s worst crimes against humanity.
