The stupid, it burns.
This guy is US Secretary of Energy and blithely puts certifiably and grossly and embarrassingly incorrect statements on social media.

@petergleick Global energy consumption is about 26,000 TW h. Earth’s surface roughly 164,000,000 sq km. A 200 W solar panel is about 1 sq m or 0.000001 km^2. Covering the Earth with these, at 5% efficiency, would generate about 15,000 times the total energy consumption of Earth.
