Fact

Isn't China installing far more solar than SpaceX plans to put in space?

“100GW in space is roughly equal to 800GW on Earth. Moreover, solar on Earth must be paired with massive batteries to continue powering compute at night and supplemented with combustion or nuclear power during winter. These are not the same at all.”
