We have options. The only thing eating away at coals market share is natural gas.
It sure isn't solar. Solars market share is only about 0.22%
Power plants are rated for power output.
For example tolk power station in earth texas has a rating of just over 1 Gw.
See my solar power post.
Aluminum takes about 70kwh per kg to make from ore.
Glass takes about 5kwh per Kg from its raw materials.
A 250 watt panel uses about 13kg of glass and a few kg of aluminum but I'm not sure exactly how much aluminum.
So we are looking at about 65 kwh just for the glass and at least 100kwh and up to 250kwh for the aluminum so far.
