Why aluminium smelters? I haven't heard this before.
> we ought to be willing to invest a little in the distribution as well.
I agree. I've read that's it's a huge challenge though, which is one of the factors holding up the development of large scale solar installations in the desert. Another challenge is the variance and relative unpredictability of power generation which means batteries are needed to smooth out the peaks and troughs to balance supply and demand.
