Thanks for the thoughts. I personally don't like adding comments about submissions, as the point to submitting stories is that they should be interesting and self-explanatory on their own merit. I believe the community, if it finds something interesting enough, will upvote it. If its something that is pointless but gets upvotes, then enough people will flag it for removal. In regards to the "1/10,000" comment, some people have conceived of designs where energy production is centralized in desert areas. While if built, indeed the amount of power would be sufficient, but this is more often simply meant as an example of the amount of land area that would be needed world-wide. It does not in itself imply that this is the strategy that should be pursued. In the same way that we say, "faster than light" instead of "speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum" and "half a dozen" instead of 6 (and I've never understood where this phrase came from), it is simply a metaphor that lets uninformed readers better grasp the concepts being imparted. In reality, what is implied is that globally it would only take an equivalent amount of land distributed world-wide to achieve the same effect.
