The real solution is to stack these individual ideas together in to a plant that uses the flaws in one process as the strength of another. That is, the excess heat from solar to generate wind...vacuumed, not blown to ensure even pressure. Edit Additional thought. Why do we add the carbon footprint for the creation of all other energy sources, except those mined. We just use the carbon footprint as if the ore miraculously appears in a usable state ( coal and uranium ). The carbon footprint to attain these is ignored, while carbon footprint to create batteries is considered. Seems weird.
