One Response to How many joules of energy are used per capita that are generated through non-wind sources?

    OK so we have 3.5 Megawatt hours.

    which is 3,500,000 watt*hours

    1 watt-hour is 1 joule per second, times 3600 seconds, equals 3600 joules used.

    Therefore 3.5 MW hours is 12,600,000,000 joules used

    97.65 % of that is 12,303,900,000 joules used per capita of energy generated from non-wind sources

    You could express your answer as 12,303,900 kilojoules,
    or about 12,304 Megajoules
