The neutrino flux is pretty low. Not much energy available. Better than nothing, but at what cost?
“What about harvesting the earth’s core’s energy ?”
Tell me about it! Iceland virtually powers all of their country from geothermal...so they’re taking heat away from the land, and the island is very COLD. No one can tell me that it just happens to be a coincidence.
Even if the sun is not visible at “your location” at a given hour, neutrinos are passing though the earth and effectively coming “up” through the earth at night at the speed of light.
However, every radioactive isotope which undergoes a beta decay also emits a neutrino. No need to capture neutrinos from the sun, put a detector on the exterior wall of your local nuclear power plant reactor building and that is a much more effective capture geometry than the point source (sun) millions of miles away.
Except this whole thing is April Fools BS, neutrinos don’t interact with mass under the known “laws” of physics.
My Bologna has the first name.
Hard to take a story on April 1 from the university of Bologna seriously.
I suggest a billion dollar study and a “blue ribbon” commision made up of the brightest minds like AOC, Maxine Waters, and Hank Johnson to investigate how women and minorities are hardest hit by neutrino inequity.
Clearly an article in tune with the day !
Let me think .. The neutrinos have passed ALL THE WAY THROUGH the earth on their way from the sun to the dark side of the planet. Then, after passing straight through 8,000 miles of molten rock and granite, the neutrino is going to be stopped by a 1/8 thick layer of impregnated glass and plastic?

Do the new prototype solar panels have a mercury film on them like most of them do?.
Reminds me of the Ponds and Fleishman hype in the mid 80s.
~We have an idea. Give us money~
Actually, Pons and Fleischmann are coming back into play:https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/energy/nuclear/cold-fusion-or-low-energy-nuclear-reactions-us-navy-researchers-reopen-case#.YGPwJDMLVZs.gmail
This is an April Fools Day hoax.
Crap, one of the morons of the Slow Joe/Camel Harris administration will take this obvious April Fools joke seriously and add hundreds of billions to his Infrastructure conspiracy.
April fools???
This is an April fools joke
Don’t tell Schroedinger how many!
What about Emperor Palpitine?
MAY THE FARCE BE WITH HIM...................
First they tire out the neutrino with booze and hookers.
