Dear Stan,
Is this the paper you are referring to:
http://energy.sigmaxi.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/jakuba_renewable_potential.pdf
Your reference didn't work for me so I found this paper of yours
through the Sigmaxi site.
Cheers,

The Sigma Xi Society has the below-listed link to a paper on the
prospects of renewable energy sources to cover the U.S. energy
needs. The paper also evaluates the likelihood of attaining Pres.
Obama's goal of doubling renewables' output in three years, and
suggests an alternative strategy. Written entirely in SI units, the
treatise enables easy comparisons among energy-related values.

Members of USMA, SITEN, E43, SCC14 will appreciate that this all-SI
paper came out during the metric week (10/10). And also that no
reviewer commented on the sole presence of SI units, let alone
suggested that English units would be better or should have been
included.
