100 acres is relatively "massive" compared to existing American solar installations. But it's really not that large an area in the industrial sense. I searched "acres refinery" to get an idea of how much land an oil refinery takes up (required, in addition to oil fields, for your diesel generators). Chevron's Richmond refinery took up 435 acres in 1915, expanded over the years to to 2,900 acres in 2002. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_Richmond_Refinery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_Richmond_Refinery
