Electricity — The shocking reality. (2)
<p>The U.S. uses 4,050 Terawatt hours of electricity per year. (That’s 4+ Trillion), That would require 422 million solar panels, each producing 9,600 watts a year. The world currently produces 38 million pannels per year, so in 11 years we will have made enough solar panels to power America. We would still need to mount them somewhere. Certainly more efficiently then 10 at a time on individual rooftops. If we keep replacing gasoline powered cars with EV’s, our electricity use problem, would get worse, much worse. We will also need to double our 120,000 miles of, wrist thick, transmission lines.</p>
<p>The ITER, (International Thermonuclear Energy Reactor), the International nuclear fusion research demonstration project, built 20 years ago in France by a consortium of 35 nations, is aimed at creating energy through a fusion process similar to that of the Sun.</p>
