Al, > I have read a comparative anectode (admittedly I have not done the math) that if 7% of Arizona was covered by PV cells there'd be enough power for the entire US.

Yeah and if we turned 5% of Nebraska into a landfill, we wouldn't need to recycle.

Solar power is expensive no matter how you put it. Try doing the math and figuring out how much it would cost to manufacture 7980 square miles of solar cells. That's over 222 billion square feet.
