Okay, so if 3.5 million quads are added by solar energy, I should adjust this:
World primary energy consumption is roughly 400 quads per year. The US > consumes 100 quads. Solar energy striking the Earth's surface produces > roughly 8.2 million quads per year, 20,500 times more than this. > Solar energy striking the Earth's surface produces roughly 3.5 million quads per year, 8,750 times more than this. It is frighting to think that present day methods produce this much energy. That's rivers of oil and mountains of coal! - Jed
