    Assuming your math is right, a different way of imagining this is that 20 of these wipe out all other power generation systems with enough overproduction to power desalination and/or carbon capture from the atmosphere.

    I know that there are currently problems with both of those systems, but at least carbon capture is going to have to be sorted out once we have excess capacity. Otherwise, whatever climate we’ve created will remain for hundreds, maybe thousands of years.

    Of course, one slight problem is that this would need to be replicated worldwide.
