Man, I really would have expected scientific american to do a better job with their units. Power (watts) is a rate, so a 100 kW facility will power 120 homes, not "120 homes for a year."
- Asbostos 11y agoYes. kWh and kW confuse journalists no end. Even with a little common sense and no science knowledge, it's clear that the plant won't stop operating after a year of 120 homes because it's somehow used up all its energy. What did the author expect would happen after that year was up?
