I believe my penis is a bit warm right now. According to @Gronk's dopey mate that could ensure half of Africa has power.

The study never proposed that they truck power via cables to power the world. That was in 2015 and it was hypothesised that they could certainly get power to Europe. The study then extrapolated the size of a solar array to meet world energy needs. That's it.

Meanwhile...

The remote area of the Outback where the solar panels will work is currently a massive cattle ranch, but the owner of the project, Sun Cable, hopes to start construction in 2023 with the aim of exporting energy by 2027. According to Unilad, the solar farm is expected to generate so much energy that not only will it power all of the Northern Territory, but two-thirds of the electricity will be exported via underwater cables that run 2,800 miles to Singapore, a city-state on the tip of the Malay peninsula.

World's Largest Solar Farm in Australia Will Also Supply 20% of Singapore's Electricity - EcoWatch

A large expanse of Australia's deserted Outback will house the world's largest solar farm and generate enough energy to export power to Singapore. The massive solar farm, which will be visible from space after it's constructed, will lie halfway between Alice Springs and Darwin, two cities in...

I don't think so. I think your beginning to understand I have a greater understanding and knowledge of the world then you do and trying to work out how to deal with it.
Main response being you have better English skills and try and fire off some words I have never heard of.

I’ll give you this Hindy, your English has improved tenfold since you’ve been on here. Kudos merkin.

I wonder if juice boy knows that the sun also shines over the US.

I think Juice boy missed the point, the map was intended to show the area of PV required relative to the size of say, Africa, transmitting it is not the issue.

Emerging new photovoltaic cell technologies have already reduced that down to 115,000 sq miles. So it’s nearly the size of Portugal (to the left) now.

Of course there are countries that would not need to tap in to these solar power plants (much or at all) because they already have a significant renewable mix. Also there are many countries that would adopt other renewable power generation sources.

Juice boy might note that UK already get some of their power via interconnectors from the continent.

Powering The Entire World With Solar: Surface Area and Panel Requirements - Axion Power

There’s a lot of things to worry about when it comes to the earth’s climate, and it only makes sense to ask the big questions. Like, why aren’t we just powering the entire earth with solar panels? I can tell you that one of the reasons is probably cost. And oil companies putting up a … Powering...

I don't know what's going on here but it looks like the world lost an artist to marine biology.

I did not notice until @Avenger pointed it out, but he really does pick his bum, then smell his fingers.

That alone should automatically disqualify him from being considered when discussing the GOAT.

So is gas powered electricity production considered ok?
