You would need to cover ~0.3% of Earth's land area with solar panels to meet current global electricity demands.
Wright founded a fracking company before his appointment as Secretary of Energy.

Even if you wrapped the entire planet in a solar panel, you would only be producing 20% of global energy.
One of the biggest mistakes politicians can make is equating the ELECTRICITY with ENERGY!
Community note
Earth gets ~1.5M TWh/day of solar energy, which is 3,000× global energy use of ~165K TWh/year. Covering just 1% of land with panels could theoretically power the planet. Electricity *is* energy. Electrification replaces fossil fuel use in transport, heat, & industry.

Leicester City were the only Premier League club to vote against the introduction pay-per-view matches..
Fair play to Leicester, pathetic from the other 19 clubs.
