Nonsense. Just build a Dyson sphere around it and be the sole owner of the entire star's energy.

That's not at all what MIT is talking about here. This goes into detail around the challenges tied in rolling out grid scale solar in a way that aligns with supply and demand curves, and how to make sure we're able to capture overproduction so that we can use it when not enough is being produced. It's a complex shift to work out in our over 100+ year grid production structure, and has been an ongoing discussion across the energy sector. But you know...memes and shit.

Needed to double check that I'm actually still on Lemmy as so many of the top comments made sense.
