> In 1920, New York Edison built a brand new power generation facility that could generate 770,000 kilowatt-hours. For reference, the city of New York City now uses about 100,000 kilowatt-hours per minute. There must be some units confusion here. Surely they didn't quote the lifetime energy output of Edison's power plant? Maybe they mean that could generate at a power of 770,000 kilowatts? But then they say NYC consumes a power of 6,000,000 kilowatts, and it seems unlike Edison's power plant was already running at more than 10% of today's NYC needs. Maybe they meant 770,000 kilowatt-hours per day (i.e. 32,000 kilowatts)?
