A barrel of oil producers 1700kwh of energy..the world consumes 94 million barrels a day..94m x 1700 = 159 trillion (give or take a few hundred billion) of kWh per day.
If you need 12.8 sq metres of solar panel to produce 1700kwh..
If I divide the energy use of oil per day 159 800 000 000 divide it by 12.8.. gives me 484 375 000 sq mtrs.. or 484 375 sq kilometres.
Now I don't know if my maths is right. A fish rots from the head. We need more than sun light.

ha!
trusting maths as our idiocy's reveal
(if you have a second
look up, that great 'theory' they had
of farming solar panels in the Sahara desert
worth a good laugh, yeah wiring issues says it all
kinda like our minds, me thinks
lol)
I've started rotting from the head, with this maths, I know that much! lol.
your calculation provides a useful insight into the scale of energy production required to replace oil with solar power. However, it is important to consider the complexities and nuances of the energy industry when thinking about transitioning to renewable energy sources.
