No oil, coal, or nukes: just 200 sq km of solar panels for the whole Earth

Mojave desert solar tower

Petroleum, coal, nuclear energy… what the hell are we thinking? Carlo Rubbia, Physics Nobel prize, said that to solve the planet energy problems all we need would be a 200 km x 200 km square of solar panels. And that area is only 0.1% of our deserts. Our deserts will become a precious resource. How’s that for revolutionary thinking?

If only the world was led by scientists and engineers, instead of assholes and “magnaccia” (pimps)
