Re: Someone cast Wolven Winter on New Orleans!
Hmmm. Interesting assertion. I can't find any numbers for Nevada insolation, but here's a San Francisco table: http://www.sfog.us/solar/sfsolar.htm
At 6.47E9 square meters (2500 square miles), that gives about 10^13 Kilowatt-hours per year (10 trillion). Wikipedia claims that U.S. energy consumption is 29000 TWh per year (2.9E13 kWhs). So I'd say Radiohead's figure looks like it's in the right ballpark.

Edit: sorry, Radioheart. Wrong name, my bad.
