What happens when you rely on renewable energy

[Dactylion]

You just need to put the solar panels high enough up to be in permanent sunshine.

High level cloud is OK, if you could be above low-level you'd vastly increase your reliability. THat's hardly any miles up

Isn't there that little matter of night time? You know when the sun isn't shining because it is on the other side of the world - doesn't that put a slight dent in your permanent or did you have some other definition?

Morocco to switch on first phase of world's largest solar plant

It takes about £30 million, and 3 years to build 1 mile of motorway in the UK.

How much we talking here?

Would the EU pay for this via some bigger UK funding?

You can build lots in parallel though

Sorry I should have made a more idiot-proof description and added <irony> tags.

Anyway this too is easily fixed. Drill a hole right through the earth and twin your solar stations with one on the other side, both sides now have energy all day.*

*For the hard of thinking, this too is not a serious idea.
