Human caused global warming is not only a reality, but it is speeding up. So something must be done. Something environmentally friendly like solar panels. Just think of it. We could be the new Saudi Arabia of electricity. Though not impossible, distributing that power to the world would be a little difficult. I will show you a picture of the U.S. and the total area of solar panels we would need to do it. They don't have to be all in one spot. And I think we have enough basically useless desert area in the U.S. to do it.
I will also show you a second picture of the U.S. and the total area it would take to power just the U.S. It shows a square area about 140 miles per side. But Elon Musk thinks it could be done with a total square area that is only 100 miles per side. And with his engineering abilities having made him a multi billionaire, you shouldn't be so quick to discount what he says.
