Do you have any conception of how much space that area is?
It's much larger than NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., Boston, San Francisco Miami and Timbuktu combined.
It's about the area of New Mexico. And what if we just put solar panels over every paved road in the U.S. The pavement of just those combined would be enough to pave over the state of West Virginia. Then, bring in rooftops of houses, garages, car ports and buildings. Then what if we put solar panels over all the parking lots. Doing all that you wouldn't be using any unused space at all. Though we still have plenty of useless desert areas that are just begging for large solar arrays.
