Why doesn't the us government build acres and acres of Solar Panels around the us such as deserts in new mexico and Arizona and where ever land is available and build wind mills around them and Supply power to the us that way?
One reason is the amount of land taken up. As the questioner pointed out... "acres and acres" of land would be needed. Open land (what there is left of it) is needed for crops (read: FOOD) for forests (read: CARBON SINK --and human...

Ikea CO2 Rises 30% as Chain Shifts to On-Site Renewables
Ikea’s CO2 emissions from its buildings have increased relative to sales, despite the chain’s efforts to increase on-site renewable power generation.
The company’s 2010 Sustainability Report (pdf) says that C02 emissions increased by 30 percent between 2009 and 2010, from 26.4 to 34.3 kg per cubic meter of products sold – the largest annual increase in three years. The major reason, Ikea said, was that the share of its buildings’ energy coming from renewable sources decreased during the year.
“When our supply agreements for grid electricity from renewable sources expired in major markets – Germany and France – they were not replaced, as Ikea has decided not to pay premium prices for ‘green’ grid electricity,” the report said. “This is one of the reasons why Ikea invests in alternative solutions, such as solar panel systems and wind turbines.”
Dry Lake, Arizona Wind Power Project
Wind power ect> Dry Lake Wind Power Project is Arizona’s first modern, commercial-scale wind farm. The wind farm supports the local economy by contributing substantial amounts to the community through payments to Navajo County and to landowners, and by the economic boost provided during construction. It’s estimated to produce enough electricity to power approximately 15000 average Arizona homes.
