Yeah you read that right.
"According to pro-TREC (Trans-Mediterranean Tenewable Energy Cooperation) sources, an area of 254 kilometers x 254 kilometers of hot desert, if covered with concentrating solar power plants, would provide electricity equivalent to the current annual electricity consumption of the whole world."
EcoWorld decided to crunch the numbers on this grand claim and they figured that TREC's numbers are about right. Wow. Let's put one of these puppies in Nevada (is it a "hot desert"?) to supply the US with all of the power we need. There's about 64,000 square kilometers out there right?
Moving toward a more sustainable, renewable, and efficient world.
How do we get there?
