So 15 terawatts = 15000 gigawatts. 400Gw/year means 37.5 years to get to 15 Tw of capacity. Still some time, but a lot more feasible than 2,500,000 years!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3764','rwr'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3764','rwr','Hmm? 1 terawatt is 1000 gigawatts.

An idea of mine is to place large iron thro the earth and then huge magnets on the edge of the atmosphere to produce electricity,using the enrgy of the revolving earth. Also crs should have magnets that pas over iron windings in the road and produce electricity. The world need sto share more and learn to live without fuels like before this is the other alternative .<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3602','neil'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3602','neil','the problem with the world is this.It is owned by a handful of people in each country who exploit the rest.The other problem is that they want to sell us their fuels and most people are like sheep and do this ,so long as they can have a car and ars able to drink a few beers.WE need to break down the rulers of the world by educating people to think,to do this we need to take away thier vices.This will happen naturally when evrything runs out.\r\nAn idea of mine is to place large iron thro the earth and then huge magnets on the edge of the atmosphere to produce electricity,using the enrgy of the revolving earth.\r\nAlso crs should have magnets that pas over iron windings in the road and produce electricity.\r\nThe world need sto share more and learn to live without fuels like before this is the other alternative .'); return false;">Quote</a></div> the problem with the world is this.It is owned by a handful of people in each country who exploit the rest.The other problem is that they want to sell us their fuels and most people are like sheep and do this ,so long as they can have a car and ars able to drink a few beers.WE need to break down the rulers of the world by educating people to think,to do this we need to take away thier vices.This will happen naturally when evrything runs out.

So for the 400 factories supplying 1 GW of arrays per year = (400 GW in total at the end of year 1) we would need to run production for 2,500,000 years........ Can the planet wait that long?
