Total Surface Area Required to Fuel the World (until 2030)
According to the US Department of Energy, the world consumption of energy in all of its forms (barrels of petroleum, cubic meters of natural gas, watts of hydro power, etc.) is projected to reach 678 quadrillion Btu by 2030 – a 44% increase over 2008 levels.

C’mon Congress, get us some affordable healthcare!
