Solar superior to nuclear for powering Mars mission

Envirotec Magazine

The main source of power for some NASA Mars rovers comes from a multipanel solar array. The winner: a photovoltaic array that uses compressed hydrogen for energy storage. Now that we have an idea of how much power is available, we can start connecting that availability to the biotechnologies in CUBES,” Berliner said.

But it goes from regional engineering solutions through biotechnology, through gene editing, and all the way up to solar geoengineering. On some level, technology has won — even people who would say “don’t do geoengineering” still want to put up solar panels and build huge arrays of batteries, and those are technologies!
