MIT had a project a couple of decades ago, a small house on a closed solar panel-fuel cell system that supplied adequate power 24/7.

Scaled up, that would likely work well in desert areas. Fuel cells are more efficient the larger they are and the waste product is water which could be recycled back into solar powe4ed hydrolysis or used for other things.

I don't think the state is ready to make the switch overnight, but it's one of the systems that bears thinking about.

Other systems that supply power will likely come on line in the coming years. It's not going to be a one size fits every location solution to power needs. That will annoy some people.

And likely we're going to have to deal with less power and the need for more efficient items to run on it.

Still, if solar is going to work anywhere, it's here. Maybe someone at one of the national labs will come up with something from way out in left field that will make it cheaper and more practical.
