I recall Dr Karl on Jjj saying that at the equator, 1sm of surface area under direct sunlight will receive the equivalent of 1 watt of electricity in solar energy.
Well, I believe that bloke's rhetoric. Had dinner with him in 2004.

Spreading this kind of misinformation
I thought Dr Karl's ideology was fairly green and he didn't appear to be evasive on any topics brought up in front of me.

But no wonder those electric aeroplanes need large wings. Not just the high aspect ratio, but somewhere to put the panels.

Quick EDIT to ask another.

How long do these new fangled battery's last, and what happens to them when they do die?
