Me: I mean, it would consume so much energy that you’d be better off never having burned the coal. That’s not really something you can engineer around; that’s basic thermodynamics.
That seems like a major misunderstanding of our problem. We basically have the technology to create enough energy via solar cells. Our problem is that we don’t have enough energy at the times where the sun doesn’t shine. Our problem is energy storage and if you could effectively turn your energy a form that can be stored for longer timeframes, everything would work out.
