@kravietz I've done a lot of research on the numbers around these energy sources and none of that is remotely true other than surface power density which is a rather useless measure for most situations
Surface power density "useless"? Come one... If you need to occupy 250x larger area to obtain the same amount of energy I think it's very relevant, and practically makes it useless in high-density areas.
Capacity factor "not remotely true"? Come on... PV peaks 13% in UK, wind 40% for off-shore.
So you not only occupy larger space for the actual generation, but then need to double that for low CF, and then tripe for storage.
@freemo
Wind and solar are one of the least effective sources of energy available, both in terms of their capacity factor, material inputs and surface power density.
Regarding what I wanted to say through these pictures:
