The US Could Power The Entire Country With 100 Miles by 100 Miles of Solar Panels

June 12, 2019
In the United States, theoretically, a small part of a sunny U.S. state could power the entire country with solar panels, Elon Musk said in 2017. According to OilPrice, “If you wanted to power the entire U.S. with solar panels, it would take a fairly small corner of Nevada or Texas or Utah; you only need about 100 miles by 100 miles of solar panels to power the entire United States,” Musk said at the National Governors Association Summer Meeting in July 2017. “The batteries you need to store the energy, to make sure you have 24/7 power, is 1 mile by 1 mile. One square-mile. That’s it.” --------------------***-------------------- Source:http://ow.ly/D6Fl50uC55J Photo:http://ow.ly/HHjM50uC55I ……………………………………. ‘All rights to go to the author of the news & image as mentioned above’ -------------------------------------------
