"60kWh/gallon" -- is that gallon of gasoline? Or ethanol? Or CO2?
If you know the figures off-hand (to save me doing the chemistry), how much water and CO2 is required to produce the gallon of output?

* 60 kWh / gallon of gasoline * 100,000 gallons / year * = 6 GWh / year * = 3.5 MW solar array (from on-line calculator) * ~ 18,000 m^2 of solar panels (500W, 1.9m * 1.3m) (roughly 3 football fields of solar panels).
