250 kW ... That's a lot of juice, boys and girls.

Not for a 1 MW plant. It's like getting a 4.5 kW water heater at home (a very typical setup) that requires 1 kW of power whenever you start it up. My tea kettle takes more than 1 kW.

I think he meant there aren't too many houses that have a 250 kW service. At 220 Volts, that's over 1,000 amps.
