In some situations such as small off-grid apps, PV is ideal.<br /><br />WW22: A better question to ask is whether these processes can be scaled up economically to HELP meet the needs of our industrial society.<br /><br />We need to get away from the magic bullet -- or the all or nothing -- mentality.al finhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739269791915017382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24847368.post-60441807131427042622011-11-29T18:23:49.135-08:002011-11-29T18:23:49.135-08:00Can these and other process be scaled up economica...Can these and other process be scaled up economically to meet the needs of our industrial society?Whirlwind22https://www.blogger.com/profile/11889314199308895265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24847368.post-52665197584046429512011-11-29T10:16:25.781-08:002011-11-29T10:16:25.781-08:00Photochemistry is actually quite powerful in that ...Photochemistry is actually quite powerful in that light can be a very power catalyst for many chemical reactions. It makes more sense to me to use solar energy to catalyze the production of useful compounds via photochemistry than to try to make solar energy into electricity via PV.kurt9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02101147267959016924noreply@blogger.com
