</div><p dir="ltr">Indeed, a more viable product for all this electricity might well be simple desalinated water. At least if the energy production was near the coast.</p></blockquote><div>Correct. The problem now being that land near the coast in sunny areas is expensive. Spike's solution took advantage of existing infrastructure (i-50) that is underutilized and of low value, that happens to be in an area with a lot of sun. Also an area where people don't generally want to live, I might add.</div>

<p dir="ltr">That doesn't require radical new technology. In fact, it's somewhat boring. But if you could make the numbers work, it would be a viable first step toward this sort of scheme. Further, this step could quite readily attract large private investment - if and only if the data and projections are believable to said investors.</p>
</blockquote></div>Correct. And I don't think you can make the numbers work for Solar today. I would love to be proven wrong, as I love solar in principle. I still think putting up that many solar panels would likely kill as many people as Chernobyl... LOL</div>
