re: Does the left really believe we can power the entire country on solar and wind?

Also in reference to the conditions, there’s been no correlation to failure and conditions. Production yes, and that’s in the tenths of a percentage point, failures no. They’re put through rigorous tests for investment from the largest banks in the world. They’re confident enough to throw billions of dollars at this.
Geography is also a big factor in solar panel effectiveness. Theres an extraordinary number of variables involved. What's generated in California will not be generated in Texas or Florida, not even Arizona.
Dry/wet conditions effect sunlight, even if they dont effect the solar cells themselves.

No ones arguing that irradiance is more favorable in some areas than others. But feel free to school me on GHI. I wonder if there was only a way to model these differences and size a system to the consumers needs based on something like a large dataset that takes into account all these variable factors. Hmm, if only.

One more thought. The production of a solar cell in varied irradiance ares is analogous to the ICE, lng turbine, coal, etc. operating in sea level conditions versus 4000ft DA. So efficiencies always vary based on location.
