Comment 15 mega watts of energy storage (Score 1) 325

Seriously why use stupid units in these stories. The system provides 15 mega watts for 15 minuits. Thats 3.75 Mw-h. according to the wikipedia an average person uses 11,400 W (average not peak).
So this can power 40 people for 8 hours.
Now you'll have to excuse me I have a meeting in 2.8 hogsheads. After that I have to goto the store and buy a meter of milk. And my furnace is a 15000BTU model and it's used them all up.

There are TAX dollars that are being wasted on those boondoggles. Back in the 1980's Ronald Reagan did a big fake star wars initiative and scared the Soviets into bankruptcy. I find it amazing how well this same strategy is working on us, scared into bankruptcy by some losers in the desert with peashooters and no girl friends.

Wikipedia exists and I interact with it all the time. I learn much more from Wikipedia than from some old stone building in an isolated location that conveys nothing other than people did stuff here along time ago. Also Wikipedia's servers are very real things and in real locations for those who want to gawk at the computer chips.
