If your average power plant is 500MW, that's still 26,000 power plants the world would not otherwise need. Edit: gah, embarrassing error. It's late.

- rgbrenner 9y agoNo, you haven't converted MW to MWH. A 500MW plant produces 4.4TWH per year (assuming 100% capacity factor.. it'll be less than that depending on the type of plant). It's maybe 3.5 x 500mw nuclear plants.
