“two and a half million gallons of fuel annually in an area just under two square miles”

Transportation fuel use is about 6 billion barrels per year or about 240 billion gallons per year. Check my math but that means about 10 thousands square miles of sewage filled plastic bags floating along our coasts.

Some people don’t want to see a windmill or drilling station on the horizon how are they going to sell this?

I show 240 billion/2.5 million = 96,000.

192,000 square miles.
