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
