4000 acre?
Americans inventing new freedom units instead of using squared meters...
I'll convert it to a metric unit for you so it's easier to visualize: the solar farm is 2*10^27 square Angstroms.
Hope that helps!
Thanks, It actually does, because the conversation factor is easy.
2e27 Å2 = 2e7 m2 = 20 km2
So an area 5km by 4km. You can now easily compare it to the size of your neighborhood, town or city.
