How large would a solar power plant have to be to power the US?

Assuming 100% transfer efficiency, 24 hours of sunlight daily and the sun is directly over the plant the entire time, it would have to cover 93,463 square miles (about the size of Oregon). Since none of those assumptions are reasonable, a plant the size of Texas should work.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
