Mindmeld, > I read in an article awhile ago that a solar energy farm measuring 10 miles squared in the Arizona desert would be enough to power all of the US' electricity needs.

If you do the math, this would average out to just under one square foot per American citizen. That's not nearly enough.

Maybe you meant 100 square miles, which would be just over nine square feet per citizen. That's better, but still not nearly enough.
