  Enough energy to feed us

  [QUOTE] 'the oft-cited statistic that to power its economy, the U.S. would need "10 billion meters, squared, of land."'

  People seem to regularly talk about the unviability of renewables because they can't (for some reason or another) supply all the energy we use.

  There are two components, surely.
  

  1. Reduce the energy we use.
     
  2. Supply the balance with low impact energy.

  Meet somewhere in the middle -- reduce consumption, increase renewables supply!

  I'd be concerned if we expected PVs had to feed the US's current energy demand. I'm optimistically hoping that we can be clever about energy demand reduction, as well as dealing with the supply side issues!On Why we gotta knock solar? posted 2 years, 5 months ago 35 Responses
