    But for a stable network you need to account for times with no sun and no wind.

      If we had a stable and international network, there would be not a time without sun or wind.

        Building out capacity to transport a massive amount of energy over thousands of kilometers isn’t really that great either. Also, when it comes to night this is kinda not possible to avoid

          You realise that the sun never goes away right? Half of the earth is illuminated 24/7

            But half the earth is in darkness at once? You want to really transport solar energy across half the earth at mass?

              I mean we do transport phone and internet signal all a roundthen world via big cables under the ocean already. That’s non an impossible challenge.
