The biggest challenge with renewables always cited is storage. Cabrin neutral feul like this could potentially be a good storage medium.
There's more than enough solar energy hitting the Earth's surface to supply all our power needs, the challenge is capturing, storing, and distributing this power.
After all, fossil fuels are just captured solar energy.
Right, the operative keyword in my comment being scalable. How many solar panels does it take to generate the same amount of power in a full day that nuclear does in a full day? Now, are you assuming a sunny day? What about cloudy days? What about weeks of wildfire smoke blotting out the sun? Are you including the energy it takes to create your fuel battery? How much fossil fuels do we burn in manufacturing to cover the Earth's surface in enough solar panels to meet our collective needs?
Storage isn't the only problem, and I mentioned this in my comment: weather patterns are changing in unpredicable ways. Building more weather-dependent power sources is stupid when we already have a great solution.
