"Per MWhr" is a better measure when comparing intermittent-power generation such as wind and solar.

- kragen 3y agoyou can and should use 'per megawatt produced' rather than 'per megawatt nameplate capacity' when comparing things like solar to things like nuclear but intermittency is irrelevant to basic incommensurability of units; neither nuclear nor solar uses more and more land over time to produce a constant amount of power, which is what 'land per megawatt hour' implies
