Reply to comment by [deleted] in US can reach 100% clean power by 2035, DOE finds, but tough reliability and land use questions lie ahead by nastratin

Well there are these lines to transmit power that can be built - let's call them "transmission power lines." These "transmission power lines" can be used to move power from one part of the country to another, like how every city doesn't have it's own coal plant?

Also there's tidal, on/off shore wind, and geothermal that can be used and stored more locally, yes?

Lolol rooftop solar isn't going to be transmitted across the county. Your best bet will always be localized, regional, power.

And yet (trans/inter) continental transmission lines already exist.... Oh yeah and wind tidal geothermal and solar can all be implemented in the north east as well.
