	*This is 5.6B homes needed for 170M GWhr. That is more homes than exists today. There is 1/5 the homes than the number people. Thus, we need 6x the homes to provide all energy. This is consistent with a home powering itself, and total energy use being several factors higher due to other human activity.		*This is 5.6B homes needed for 170M GWhr.
