A single 1MW wind turbine, operating at a 45% production rate, will generate about 3.9 million kW of electricity in a year; this would be enough to meet the needs of about 500 households per year.

There are about 75 million kilowatts of hydroelectric generating capacity in the United States. That’s equivalent to the generating capacity of 70 large nuclear power plants.

In One minute, the sun produces enough energy for about 24 days.

People need to wake up and realize that the people in charge do not want us knowing about this because they know that, if we actually took advantage of what the world naturally provides for us, they wouldn’t be able to keep us spending our money. And if they were really concerned about saving our environment, they would have commercials on the natural alternatives instead of simple, inefficient ways to save energy like turning off lights when you’re not using them.
