What’s missing in this video is how would the electricity would be distributed over the grid, in a controlled manner, and how much storage capacity (located where) would be needed to deal with the fact that the sunshine isn’t always available everywhere. Add the possibility that the grid could be severely damaged by a cyber attack and dark for weeks or months or even years, and you really have not found a “solution” – if you build all the solar facilities in the SW US, what good does it do in the NE US where a lot of people live.
