like sunlight?
No, real estate. Where are you gonna put all those solar panels? How many hundreds of thousands of square miles do you have render unusable for anything else? Cleaning? Well, you need an army to squeegee them. Same goes for windmills. A planned 2000 MW windfarm in the Dakotas requires upwards of 1000 square miles of land housing 1200 turbines crisscrossed with transmission lines. It is a nightmare.
