Explanation Given: California Wind farms generate 2,500,000 kilowatts. Average household consumes about 10,000 kilowatt-hours. Formula used: Power in watts = Joules second Calculation: a) Assuming there are 365 days in a year and 24 hours in day, there are 8760 hours in a year. 30% efficient Wind farms generate 0.3 x 2500,000 = 750,000 kilowatt-hours of energy in one hour. Wind farms generate 750,000 kilowatt - hours x 8760 = 6.57 billion kilowatt-hours of energy in one year...
