10,000 square miles
That's the area needed for solar panels. To supply 100% of the current usage in the US. lol
ONLY 1/300th of the lower 48.
Double that to account for transmission, etc.
1/150th ... of the US
AKA, we can not replace current power with solar.
(I did the math twice - using data from two different source)
4000 TWh/year
1.6 TWh/year - biggest solar plant in CA (about 5sq)
so 10-20,000 SQUARE MILES are need.
HINT: if you think solar is green, you are insane.
a) what are you going to go, with everything is living on that ground now?
b) when they built these plants, they had to move the wildlife!!
c) whoops - how many immigrants do we need to clean the solar panels
SO IF your PLAN is to SAVE THE PLANET.
You need to rethink your plan.
Everything costs something
ZERO POP OR BUST
