22 kilowatt-HOURS (energy) not 22 kilowatts (power). It's like comparing distance vs. speed.
You could light your 80000 LEDs for one hour, or a more modest 444 LEDs for 6 hours per night for 30 days with 22 kWh.
Just making the remark that if everyone turned on their lights when the sun went down, so would the grid. Space the daily figures over a month and it would work, but that would mean they multiplied the figures by 30.
Same difference. They lied as usual, and exaggerated the problem all out of proportion to reality as is usual for our little enviro-nazis.
A kilowatt hour is a thousand watts used in an hour. 22 kilowatt hours uses is power (22 thousand watts ) x (time 1 hour) I do understand. What they did not explain is how long, on would assume a day, you assumed 30 days. I used their deliberately wishy washy statement in the same vein as it was given to be one hour to make a point, and bring the absurdity of the size of lighting they assumed into focus.
Another example would be that your plug in heater uses 1.3Kwh on high. You can heat a house with three of them at 4Kwh. If you used the amount of power they claim, you would burn your house down.
Seven tenths of a Kilowatt hour is one horse power.
Their statement is beyond absurd.
Besides all that, if some other country wants electricity bad enough they can always just generate it. Cave men did not use the wheel, that does not make the wheels on my car bad does it?!
My guess is that Saudi Arabia did not use or need one whole watt for Christmas lights...
