Figure No. 67 The Sunny Country: US Solar Power Potential

The solar power potential of the US is, conservatively, at least 1,000 times greater than the wind power potential. For example, a single square of southern Nevada land, 97 miles on a side and covered with photovoltaic panels, could provide enough electricity for the entire country, not to mention some streetcars.
