Reply #6: I wish the effing media would stop doing these 'stupid facts'

[legin]

i.e. "...enough to light up Shanghai on a peak day with power to spare..."

I've played SimCity, this ain't useful (probably on purpose).

Some facts I got:

britain power consumption equals roughly 100,000 MWatts (100 million kilowatts ??).

And I wish I knew China's.

Average power production by good sized power station equals about 1,000 Mwatts.

So this Dam project equals about 20 good sized power stations. (which ain't bad)

(I would check above facts)
