The technology is there. It’s the cost that is prohibitive.

there isn’t enough space to put as many panels as would
be needed to power 300 million people. your boat doesn’t have central air or a microwave or a washer/dryer does it?
we use a to of electricity, my wife
and kids are home in the summer, cranking the a/c and the electric pool heater. the august before i got panels, my monthly electric bill was $550, so we put panels on my entire roof ( we have no tall trees, get a ton of sun), it produces almost exactly what we use. but it killed a lot of
birds, and the panels
need to be disposed of
someday.
