| Popis: | Intermittency is often cited as the single greatest hurdle to making a transition from a fossil-based power system to one based on renewables. This study shows that a network of solar power plants, located in deserts, could provide significant baseload in four world regions, suggesting that decarbonization of the power system may be possible and affordable, even if no new technologies come online. |
