The total power used by humans worldwide is approximately 15 TW (terawatts). Sunlight striking Earth provides 1.336 kW
per square meter (assuming no clouds). The surface area of Earth is approximately 197,000,000 square miles.
How much of Earth's surface would we need to cover with solar energy collectors to power the planet for use by all humans?
Assume that the solar energy collectors can only convert 10 % of the available sunlight into useful power.
Much of the U.S. electricity is generated in thermal generating stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. The use of solar-powered generating stations is expected to increase over the next decade and replace older fossil-fuel generating stations. What impact might this change have on greenhouse gas emissions?
1. Why is it difficult to implement renewable energy and how to implement it?
