I'd love to see the source on that one. I've seen estimates that take conservative production numbers and check that against the EIA and conclude that we'd need arrays totaling the size of california, for example..particularly when they include cars and industrial use. Far less for electricity, ofc...far less even than the amount of land already leased out for fossil fuel production.
Solar arrays at that scale would be a disaster, but I've never seen anything that indicated that if we covered the entire continent (or at least our portion of it) in one giant array there just isn't enough solar energy.
