Electric energy can be stored. Utility scale electric energy storage is
advancing very rapidly. So, yes.
The article wasn't clear. A coal plant or a uranium plant can do quite a bit of
this also, and transmit the excess electricity to other towns and cities, on a
7 x 24 basis. If, for any reason, we cannot do this with solar, then..? Also,
what is the cost per kilowatt. I have heard that solar has made great progress
in the last several years with with efficiency and cost-price.
The cost per kilowatt -- for complete installed systems -- is starting to get
close to parity with the cost for electricity from coal. In ten years from now
solar will be far less expensive than coal electricity.

It produces 4X the energy it needs just from the solar PV on the roofs of its
buildings…. Isn’t it amazing what you can accomplish with such dilute sources
of energy. I include the link because the pictures are pretty cool, and
illustrate what a solar city could look like.

What can I say – I have an architecture kick, especially when it is sustainable
and low footprint.
