Their PR says 200 W per sq m so that number can be dialled down a bit, but the numbers required are still infeasibly large. My own estimates are in a similar ballpark to yours.

And -- ooooof! -- in April, Wind+solar almost overtook gas!

the Nazis literally tried to discover Atlantis because they thought Atlanteans were aryans and would prove German racial superiority
Fascism has always been anti-intellectual and full of pseudoscience

The number of people nationally with student loans of more than $100,000 has grown by 800 per cent in the past decade. The government needs to stop cherry-picking which parts of the Universities Accord it acts on, and get on with real reform to fix this broken system.
While HECS sinks a generation of young people, only 4 MPs face debt

Soviet joke. A man goes to a news stand, looks at the front pages, doesn’t buy a paper. He does this every few days until the guy at the kiosk asks, what are you looking for? The obituaries, the man says. ‘But those are in the middle of the paper’, and the man replies ‘not the one I have in mind’
