[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3846386, member: 3099"] This is just wishful thinking by idiots who have the ability to enact their craziness. Stolen from another site: Number of gallons of gasoline consumed/day in CA. - 48 million gallons Kilowatt value of one gallon of gasoline. -- 33.7 kWh 48,000,000 x 33.7 = 1,617,600,000 kWh / 1000 = 1,617,600 MWh "The amount of electricity that a power plant generates during a period of time depends on the amount of time its reactors operate at a specific capacity. For example, if the R.E. Ginna reactor operates at 582 MW capacity for 24 hours, it will generate 13,968 megawatthours (MWh).
