    But they didn’t tell bozo, apparently.

    On the other hand, using heat pumps, couldn’t heat panels be pumped to 1000+ °C, where infrared cooling is more effective?

      Sure, but engineering materials still start to break down at such high continuous service temps. And mechanical heat pumps become very impractical above 250C as things like compressors and phase change refrigerants also break down under extreme temperatures and pressures required to force a phase change at such a high temp.

      Since when do billionaires listen to anybody other than the sycophants they surround themselves with?
