L4sBotThe World’s Largest Wind Turbine Has Been Switched On
sin_free_for_00_daysAccording to the corporation, just one of these turbines should be able to produce enough electricity to power 36,000 households of three people each for one year.
These types of statements always trip me up. Why one year? If it’s producing that amount of energy in that same year, shouldn’t it just be “…power 36,000 households of three people.”?
neuromancerDon’t know how they calculate that number.
The turbine can produce 80M kWh per year, I seriously doubt that would be enough to power 36000 family homes with 3 people.
I could be wrong, but I think the average power consumption per capital is around 6000 kWh per year in the EU.
But you are right about the wording being odd, when both a per year.
