So how does this represent Seven of Nine? it's (within .01%) the binary representation of .77777777777777777777777777777777777777777 (which is 7/9)  |

lol, answers were
4.75×1020
world energy use / year (in Joules)
4×1024
world solar energy available / year (in Joules)
the point being approx +/- just a bit .... 1% land (or water) dedication with a process of net 1% energy conversion/transport efficiency could power the world's {current} energy demand. interesting stuff. or not ?

I would use solar power, initial cost is high. If and when we build a new house I might seriously consider it. I mean Texas gets a lot of sun.
