"In our plan, by 2050 photovoltaic technology would provide almost 3,000 gigawatts (GW), or billions of watts, of power. Some 30,000 square miles of photovoltaic arrays would have to be erected. Although this area may sound enormous..."    ~    from article

McRath...why did you convert this to miles squared...to confuse?

BTW, this idea is a total crock. There will be environmental destruction caused by making these arrays as well as destruction of the land on where they will be placed.

A concept from Fantasy Land, about like putting nuclear waste in rockets and sending it to Mars.
