> What area would it take to produce several GW that a few reactors would produce? Out of curiosity, I tried some napkin math on this. If Nevada went whole hog, used say, 1% of their total land for solar, they could produce almost half the electrical needs of the US, if I haven't mucked up the math too much. Sounds plausible, but 1% of Nevada's land for solar would indeed be 'all the way to the horizon' in many places.
