Interesting diagram showing the surface area of solar energy generation required to power the world and various subdivisions of it. It's incredible that our Sun produces so much energy but also how uneven power consumption is around the different continents. I doubt we'd be able to process enough Silicon to build something this huge, i.e. a solar farm (predictably) the size of Wales, but for the Engineers among us the possibility is tantalising never the less.
