Here is a nice, conservative (assumes 8% efficiency and using real weather data) visual representation of the land required to produce enough solar power to replace all the energy currently consumed.

So turn off the nukes, bulldoze the coal plants, return the rivers back to the wild by removing dams, leave the oil in the ground and stop subsidizing terror, make reefs out of the super tankers, shut off all the leaking pipelines, say good bye to smog, say good bye to those bird eating windmills and even good bye to the chemical exposure we get when filling up our cars...uh oh, I forgot that Cheney and Bush get rich from all that - so please cancel the above thoughts.
