What is impressive about this is that 10,000 turbins is 15GW of generating capacity. With an average capacity factor of 33% these turbins generate 5000GW which is equivelent of 5 nuclear power plants. Most of this is installed in the US. How many nuclear power plants have been started and completed in the same period of time in the US? Zero. - Steven Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:26:39 +0100 http://ecogeek.org/wind-power/2297#comment-21001 97%! What percentage of that is hot air produced by Keith Olbermann? Does the price of the crack he takes negatively affect their bottom line? How many megawatts of energy could be saved by shutting off MSNBC? - TorahMike Mon, 17 Nov 2008 15:48:21 +0100
