The relevant quote from what Kris is showing you is "growth in the size of the annual global market of just over 6%."

I'm asking you for the comparable figure for the last three years. Is 6% a good number or a bad number?

If you can provide a resource for global wind capacity over the last decade or so, I'll be happy to do the math for you.

How does that 6% compare to the last few years? FBaggins Feb 2012 #1

What percent of 200 is 41? jpak Feb 2012 #2

OK I will do this slowly jpak Feb 2012 #6

You can go as slow as you like, but until you actually "get it"... you can't answer. FBaggins Feb 2012 #7

I knew you had trouble with basic physics... FBaggins Feb 2012 #10

The 6% refers to the contribution of wind to global generating capacity jpak Feb 2012 #13

No it doesn't. FBaggins Feb 2012 #14

Why don't you stop acting out? kristopher Feb 2012 #18

Acting out? I'm simply correcting his ongoing misunderstanding. FBaggins Feb 2012 #20

Excuse me? FBaggins Feb 2012 #29

No. I don't think your behavior is able to be excused. kristopher Feb 2012 #34

The answer is in #38 FBaggins Feb 2012 #39

It grew at 21% per year in 2011 jpak Feb 2012 #11

Still not getting that highschool math thingy, eh? FBaggins Feb 2012 #15

FBaggins 1. How does that 6% compare to the last few years? kristopher Feb 2012 #17

The "joke" is that you keep dodging the question. FBaggins Feb 2012 #22

Maybe this will help kristopher Feb 2012 #8

Raw figures: Dead_Parrot Feb 2012 #36

So the comparable figure for 2009 is 41% and for 2010 is -1.5%. Thanks. FBaggins Feb 2012 #38

Probably 200% ;) Dead_Parrot Feb 2012 #40

41 GW of wind = actual output of approx 17 nuclear reactors. kristopher Feb 2012 #28

Inconsistently... and for a much shorter period of time... but so what? FBaggins Feb 2012 #31

That is 17 nuclear plants worth of generation built in 1 year. kristopher Feb 2012 #33
