Power Electric
How much electric power would it take to run all the automobiles, trucks , and buses in the United States ?
What is the potential of electric power in the United States from wind , geothermal, hydropower, and solar power to power electric vehicles???
Some years ago, I calculated that it would take about 180 gigawatts (first link).
The potential wind energy available in the lower 48 states is on the order of 1200 gigawatts, with another 900 gigawatts of potential on the continental shelves. The potential from solar energy is quite a bit more; wind energy is just solar energy after conversion through a rather inefficient heat engine.
EDIT: This is quite a bit less electricity than we generate today. Average US electric generation is about 460 GW (second link), while total nameplate generating capacity is over 1000 GW.
