What percentage of our national power usage is 3,000 MEGAWATTS? I know that California uses up to 45,000 megawatts daily.
The installed wind power capacity is apparently more like 9,000 megawatts (or 2% of what is needed), while 3,000 is the amount being added each year.
Worldwide figures, incidentally, would be about 4.5 times higher than for the US alone, in terms of energy needs.
