China added ~90GW of utility solar per year in last 2 years. There's ~400-500GW solar+wind under construction there.

It is possible, just may be not in the U.S.

Note: given renewables can't provide base load, capacity factor is 10-30% (lower for solar, higher for wind), so actual energy generation will vary...

Sure, GP was clearly talking about the US, specifically.

> just may be not in the U.S.

Absolutely 100% not possible in the US. And even if we could do it, I'm not convinced it would be prudent.
