Solar Power Potential for the US and Europe

Yeah, so, I mean, I guess a rough way to think about it

is 100 miles by 100 miles, I'll call

it 160 kilometers by 160 kilometers of solar is enough

to power the entire United States.

So 100 mile by 100 mile area is,

I mean, you could take basically a small corner of Utah,

Nevada, New Mexico, obviously you wouldn't want it all in one place.

But it is a very small percentage of the area

of the U.S. to generate all of the electricity that the U.S. uses.

And the same is true, actually, I mean, for Europe.

You could take a small, you could take relatively unpopulated areas of,

say, Spain and Sicily and generate all of the electricity power that Europe needs.
