The state of residential solar power | Ars Technica

https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/02/solar-power-is-it-for-you/ SIGN IN SCIENTIFIC METHOD — The state of residential solar power Choosing solar in a vacuum now makes sense—but location and bureaucracy still loom IRL. LEE PHILLIPS -   2/5/2017, 8:00 AM Don't panic, but we will need to generate  approximately 15TW  of usable energy from renewable (carbon-neutral) sources by 2050 in order to stabilize the atmospheric CO 2  concentration. And purely in terms of available energy, solar power has the  greatest potential  for meeting this requirement. Solar is "probably the only long-term supply-side energy solution that is both large enough and acceptable enough to sustain the planet's long term requirements,"  according to  Richard Perez, senior research associate at the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center at SUNY-Albany. Perez' analysis includes geothermal, wind, all other significant renewable sources, nuclear fission, ...
