Wow! Thanks for this link! I'm going to post the picture anyway...

I'm out of thankses, so...thanks!


The black dots represent an area that if covered in Solar farms could supply the world's energy. The wiki link says assuming 8% efficiency, which given the location and the technology as it exists today I have little doubt is more than attainable.
