[QUOTE="Motor Mouse, post: 263288, member: 703"] Well my wife says I can never let anything go. So here goes! Fly2cast you are out to lunch! I am 100% correct! You are so out lunch with your math and engineering units you are hilarious! Wind towers are rated in Mega Watts per Hour! not day or year. The average land based wind tower being installed today is > 2.5 MW per hour at max output. Yes they do not produce max output much of the time. 14000 barrels of oil for a MW in a year. I just spit my coffee all over my computer screen! ~ 1.73 barrels of crude to make a MW of energy in a year. Your .0016 barrels of heating oil (.00173 for crude) is what it takes to make a 1000 watts per hour. A MW is a million watts. If I make 1000 watts per hour burning .07 or so, gallons of oil per hour or .0016 or so, barrels of oil to make that 1000 watts per hour I have to do that for 1000 hours to make a MW. 1000 hours X .0016 = 1.6 barrels. (a barrel is 42 gallons) = 1 MW energy. If I am making 1 MW/Hr continuous it would take 1.6 barrels per hour. X 8760 hours in a year or 14,000 barrels a year and my electrical power produced for the year would be 8760 MW of energy. What I said in my post months ago is that you are mixed up with your engineering units. And now I say you are wrong I am right! [/QUOTE]
