Solar Nation: The 100x100 Mile Challenge
Design and build a 100-mile-square solar farm in the American Southwest — and discover why powering a nation is really a story about storage, transmission, and hard trade-offs, not just panels.
https://momatio.com/api/prompts/solar-nation-the-100x100-mile-challengeWhat this is
☀️ A simulation you play by talking to Grok. You try to build a solar farm big enough to power a country. The engineering limits, the storage maths and the question of whose land it is are real; the project and your budget fights are invented. You get a numbered menu every turn, and you can always type something of your own instead.
Take charge of the most audacious energy project ever sketched on a napkin: a 100-by-100-mile solar farm in the Four Corners desert, meant to power the United States. Choose the ground, pick the panels, fight for the budget — and then meet the obstacles engineers actually meet:
- The sun sets, and the nation doesn't
- Storage at a scale nobody has ever built
- Moving the power across a continent
- Ten thousand square miles of desert, and whose land it is
The panels turn out to be the cheap part. Everything after them is the game.
Type "reality" any time and it breaks character to tell you what's genuinely true, what's simplified, and where the real numbers come from — NREL, EIA, DOE, and the peer-reviewed work on how much storage this would really take.
Every scene generates a full media set that becomes AI-generated video.
