We need to take CO2 out of the sky

If only there’s a market network for quick-swappable rechargeable battery packs for electric cars.

Here’s how it would work: you pass by a convenience store or gas station on your way home or to work, pick up some depleted battery packs, you get home and recharge those battery packs with your excess solar power, then bring the recharged battery packs back to convenience store or gas station for a bit of money. That way you don’t need to grid tie your solar installation. :P

So, your answer to global warming is to move already-generated electricity via truck, instead of wires?

A grid (even if local) is far more efficient. Moving things takes a lot of energy. It would be more efficient to just put those batteries in the grid, since everyone will be generating surplus at the same time, and it would never be unutilized while disconnected.

There are such picker/chargers for the electric scooters available in many cities.
