The future of electricity is local
I frequently read about proposals for new solar power developments where the resulting power is moved great distances to less sunny places, such as northern Europefrom the Sahara, the US North East from the South West, or even Australia to Singapore. According to these proposals, the key to unlocking greener electricity is massive infrastructure to move renewable electricity across continents.
Looking at a solar resource map, such as this one of the US, it certainly seems that if the solar resource was oil, Arizona would be the place to drill.
On a global scale, it seems that solar potential is reasonably localized, with as much as 3x more sun in North Africa compared to Scotland. Furthermore, seasonal variations are more extreme at high latitudes, accentuating the relative advantages of long-distance power transmission.
